Tivoli sits in the Tiburtine hills, about 30 km from Rome. In classical times its thermal springs and cooler climate made it a frequent summer retreat for prominent Roman citizens who wished to escape the heat of the city. Many villas were built here, by the Emperor Hadrian and the poet Horace, amongst others. The town remained popular in later centuries and new villas continued to be built until the nineteenth century.
Today Tivoli continues to attract visitors, who roam the mediaeval streets or visit its famous villas. It is still possible to bathe in the thermal waters beneath the town.
Villa d'Este
The Villa d'Este is in the centre of Tivoli and stands in a corner of the Piazza Trento. The exterior is modest and gives no indication that the house leads on to the most famous garden in Italy, tumbling down an entire hillside with a series of extravagant water features.
