Visit the charming hill town of Tivoli, less than an hour from the hustle and bustle of Rome. Wander around Villa Adriana, a huge complex designed to house and entertain the emperor and his entourage.
Tour Tivoli's historical centre, before heading to Villa d'Este, renowned for its spectacular gardens and elaborate fountains. Tivoli seems to be a natural wonder with its sweeping Italian views, elaborately engineered fountains, and its two ancient villas. You'll visit Hadrian's Villa, designed and built by a 2nd-century, globe-trotting emperor.
Continue to Villa d'Este, a sumptuous Renaissance residence built for the local cardinal-Lucretia Borgia's son-and designed to impress his guests. Wander through the gardens, among the extravaganza of trees and fountains, and admire breathtaking views over the plain towards the Eternal City. Following the long sequences of mighty archers running through Rome's outskirts and countryside, we will visit the Aqueduct Archaeological Park to see the massive aqueducts which have powerfully withstood time and to hear detailed accounts of the hydraulic engineering abilities attained by the ancients to canalize huge amounts of water to Rome. Then continue on to Visit charming Castelgandolfo where is the Pope's Summer Residence and then Nemi with its medieval castle overlooking a smaller enchanting lake where Emperors Caligula and Nero used to orchestrate refined sumptuous banquets and feasts on luxuriously rigged rafts to entertain and surprise visiting foreign dignitaries.
This famed area is considered one of the most beautiful spots in Italy and is the bronze-age cradle of the Latin peoples and language who later were to found Rome on the banks of the Tiber river.
When in the Roman Hills taste the famous local white wines produced on the surrounding mineral-rich and fertile volcanic soils which give them a particular component supposedly excellent for nerves.
Then we'll drive back to your accommodation.
