The construction of Villa d’Este was commissioned by Cardinal Ippolito d'Este, a cardinal and statesman of the 16th century known for his willingness to invest inherited wealth in grand art endeavors. Thankfully, his vision resulted in the breathtaking Villa d’Este, which has served as a source of inspiration for European gardens both aesthetic and functional-oriented.Explore the expansive gardens and enjoy the breathtaking views and sounds of a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Walk along paths decorated with magnificent statues and water elements, and listen to the gentle sound of water flowing through its numerous terraces.
While in the villa, you have the opportunity to appreciate frescoes covering every wall of richly decorated halls and chambers. An audio guide is highly recommended for this experience, unless you happen to be well-versed in 16th-century art and religious iconography (which is entirely possible, given your intelligence).
