Originally constructed as his rural retreat, Emperor Hadrian, who reigned over Rome from 117 to 138, eventually managed the empire from this location during the final years of his rule. In more recent times, the Republic of Italy has taken ownership of this expansive Roman archaeological site. The area is adorned with numerous luxurious pools, baths, fountains, and classical Greek architecture.

Take some time to wander around and enjoy a relaxed lunch before visiting Villa d’Este, renowned for its stunning terraces. Other notable features include the Apartments of the Cardinal, the Gardens, and the many exquisite fountains – such as the Oval Fountain, the Hundred Fountains, Fountain of the Dragons, Fountain of the Owl, Organ, and Neptune, among others.

This is the ideal little escape from Rome.
