It's easy to get lost exploring Rome's fascinating galleries and rich museums, forgetting that there's plenty of culture to discover outside the confines of the Eternal City as well. Villa d'Este, an hour east of the capital, in Tivoli, is the perfect example. Dating back to the 16th century, it is famous for its wonderful Italian Renaissance garden, with beautiful fountains, statues and grottoes.

Villa d'Este was built for Cardinal Ippolito d'Este, who was certainly not afraid to spend his inherited wealth on sumptuous art projects. Fortunately! This villa is a marvel inside and out, as well as a source of inspiration for many European gardens.

Explore the stunning gardens and enjoy the views and atmosphere offered by this UNESCO World Heritage Site. Stroll along paths lined with beautiful statues and listen to the soothing roar of water in the fountains.

Inside the villa you can admire large frescoes in opulent halls, and this is where the audio guide becomes essential, unless you are an expert in religious art and iconography of the sixteenth century (you could be, we have a cultured audience).
