Is a visit to Villa D'Este worthwhile?

We only have a day and a half in Rome and I'm wondering if anyone out there has been to these gardens and found the drive there worthwhile. I think I'd still have a day to see Rome.

If you had more time in Rome, I would say that Villa D'Este would be worth it. With only 1 1/2 days in Rome, you'll only be able to scratch the surface, so I would just stick to Rome. <BR>Regards <BR>Art <BR>

I agree with Art. On the other hand, there are several companies offering guided half day tours to d'Este, including Hadrian's Villa. Really worthwhile, especially the Hadrian guiding. <BR>Bjorn, Oslo

It is so worth visiting. I was there last July. However, I don't think you have enough time. It is absolutely gorgous

Both Villa d'Este and Hadrian's VIlla are quite worthwhile. However I rank them both under most of the top 20 sights in Rome. When you've seen them, then go on out to Tivoli. <BR> <BR>Saint Peter's <BR>Roman Forum <BR>Sistine Chapel & Vatican Museums Palatine Hill <BR>Capitoline Hill <BR>Castel S.
