Tivoli is close enough to Rome to make it one of the most popular day trips from your accommodation in Rome, and yet Tivoli is far enough to escape the chaos of city life and experience the beauty and peace that the villas of Tivoli.
Aside from the Villas, Tivoli itself is a charming historic town with excellent restaurants and enjoyable stroll.
