Escape from Rome to a garden in Tivoli

A very hot day in Rome so jumped on the metro and local bus to Tivoli to visit the famous water gardens Villa d'Este. It was a fabulous day, the house and gardens are spectacular, the best example of 16th century house and garden design in the renaissance style. Got some great ideas for our next garden.
