Villa d'Este: Spectacular Fountains Just Minutes from Rome | Local Aromas

Ready for a spectacular day trip just 30 km (19 miles) east of Rome? Join Valeria and Benedetta as we explore one of Italy's Renaissance masterpieces, Villa d'Este in Tivoli! This UNESCO World Heritage site is famous for its breathtaking gardens and monumental fountains.

Located in the heart of Tivoli (at Piazza Trento 5), Villa d'Este was brought to life by Cardinal Ippolito II d'Este after he missed out on becoming Pope in the mid-16th century. He transformed a Benedictine monastery into a grand villa and garden, perfect for entertaining guests.

The scale of Villa d'Este's gardens is truly mind-blowing: covering 35,000 square meters (376,737 square feet), it boasts 250 jet sprays, 60 water basins, 255 waterfalls, 100 pools, 50 fountains, and 20 exedras and terraces. With 30,000 seasonal plants, 150 ancient trees, and 15,000 perennial ornamental plants and trees spread across 9,000 square meters (96,875 square feet) of beautifully designed pathways and ramps, it’s a garden lover’s paradise!

Don’t miss the Organ Fountain, the villa’s centerpiece, featuring a water-powered mechanism that plays organ music. Enhanced by the genius of Gian Lorenzo Bernini, who also designed St. Peter's Square in Rome, this fountain perfectly blends Renaissance and Baroque styles.
