Lonely Planet review for Villa d’Este

In Tivoli’s hilltop centre, the gardens of Villa d’Este have an Alice in Wonderland magic, and are a superlative example of a High Renaissance garden. The villa was once a Benedictine convent, converted by Lucrezia Borgia’s son, Cardinal Ippolito d’Este, into a sumptuous pleasure palace in 1550. From 1865 to 1886 it was home to Franz Liszt and inspired his compositions To the Cypresses of the Villa d’Este and Fountains of the Villa d’Este. There is a stylish café-restaurant for a drink or lunch here.
