The enchanting gardens of Villa d'Este are located just a few kilometers outside Rome in the small town of Tivoli.
The name of the villa originates from the variety of decorative fountains found on the grounds, and it's one of the most copied Italian gardens all over the world.
It's a magical place that merits a visit during your trip to Rome.
