Two UNESCO villas, one private day
Tivoli is one of the best escapes from Rome when the logistics are handled. This private day pairs Hadrian's Villa, a vast second-century imperial retreat, with the Renaissance gardens of Villa d'Este, no trains or buses needed.
At Hadrian's Villa the guide explains the pools, baths, theatres and the Canopus. At Villa d'Este the focus moves to Cardinal Ippolito d'Este's house, terraced gardens and water engineering. Tivoli town and the Aniene waterfall break up the day.
A private programme with an official guide, at your pace.
