Overview

We offer an out-of-town excursion in complete comfort. You will be accompanied to Tivoli by a private car with driver who will take you to this medieval town known since ancient times for its wealth of water and thermal baths. It is no coincidence that emperors first and then cardinals decided to build their villas in Tivoli in order to enjoy the benefits of the sulphurous waters and appreciate the less sultry temperatures compared to those of the city of Rome.

Inside Tivoli there is the very famous Villa d'Este. The UNESCO heritage villa features terraced gardens decorated with a hundred fountains from which jets of water gush thanks to the natural pressure of the water that descends from the hill. Particularly renowned is the organ fountain famous for the sounds it emits, delighting guests strolling through the gardens of Cardinal D'Este.

A magical place to unwind and get closer to the history of humanity. Book now!
