Il Giardino is a bed & breakfast in Tivoli, in the province of Rome, about 600 metres from Villa d’Este, one of the most visited UNESCO sites in the area.
The property offers five room types, from the more compact Double Room at 16 sqm to the Suite with Hot Tub, a unit with a separate living area designed for families or small groups. All accommodations feature a private bathroom, air conditioning, soundproofed walls and a flat-screen TV, while some overlook the inner garden or the rooftops of the old town. WiFi is free in all areas, and breakfast, served Italian-style, can also be requested in the room.
Guests can count on a garden with outdoor furniture, a terrace, luggage storage and daily housekeeping. The location, rated 9.3 by guests, allows bars and restaurants in the historic centre to be reached on foot and remains convenient for those visiting Villa Adriana, just over 2 km away, or travelling to Rome by train from Tivoli station.
Il Giardino offers five accommodation options designed for different needs, from couples visiting for the weekend to families looking for more space. Room sizes range from 16 sqm for the Double Room to 36 sqm for the Luxury Quadruple Room and the Suite with Hot Tub, the latter being the only one with a living area separate from the sleeping area. All rooms feature a private bathroom with a walk-in shower, air conditioning and soundproofed walls, a detail that makes the stay quiet despite the central location.
What sets one room type apart from another is mainly the view and distinctive details: the Superior and the Queen look onto the inner garden, the Luxury Quadruple adds a sofa bed to accommodate up to four people, while the Suite overlooks the rooftops of the old town. Minibar, safe and courtesy set complete the amenities of the most recently updated rooms.
The most compact of the rooms at Il Giardino, at 16 sqm with a simple but complete setup: private bathroom with a walk-in shower, bidet and hairdryer, plus air conditioning, soundproofed walls, wardrobe and safe.

The private bathroom with walk-in shower and soundproofed walls ensure comfort and peace, ideal for those who want a view of greenery without leaving Tivoli’s historic centre.
With a size between the Double Room and the Superior, this room stands out for its direct garden view, enjoyed without a balcony but through large windows. A private bathroom, minibar and wardrobe complete a solution designed for a quiet stay, just above the property’s basic standard.
The largest of the single-layout rooms, designed for families or small groups thanks to the sofa bed paired with the double bed, for a total of four guests. Private bathroom with walk-in shower, minibar and wardrobe complete an accommodation that is more generous than the property’s classic doubles.
The only accommodation in the property arranged as a true apartment, with a living area separate from the bedroom and a view over the rooftops of the old town.

Outside, guests will find a garden with outdoor furniture and a terrace, useful spaces for relaxing away from the traffic of the historic centre. Daily housekeeping, luggage storage and an in-room safe complete the general services designed for those travelling with more luggage or staying several nights.
Every room has a private bathroom with bidet, hairdryer and complimentary toiletries, plus air conditioning and soundproofed walls: a detail not to be taken for granted in a property in the city centre. Italian breakfast can also be served in the room, while free WiFi is available in all common areas and rooms.

Il Giardino is located on Viale Cassiano, in a residential area of Tivoli just a few minutes’ walk from the historic centre and from Villa d’Este, the Renaissance complex and UNESCO World Heritage Site famous for its gardens and monumental fountains. The neighbourhood keeps a quiet character, with bars and small restaurants within 50-500 metres, including Eden Cassiano restaurant just 50 metres away and Le Torri pizzeria about 450 metres away.
Tivoli train station is 1.1 km away, convenient for those wanting to reach Rome without a car, while Villa Adriana, the area’s other major UNESCO World Heritage residence, is about 2.1 km away. Rome Ciampino Airport is about 23 km away, and Fiumicino Airport is 45 km away: both reachable by car in just under an hour under normal traffic conditions. For those arriving by car, parking is available along the street.
Beyond the historic villas, the area offers other ideas for a day trip: Ponte Lucano, an ancient Roman bridge over the Aniene river, is about 2.6 km away, while the Villa Adriana urban park and green areas such as Atlantica Park, about 6.6 km away, suit those who want to combine culture with outdoor walks. In summer, Tivoli’s historic centre comes alive with events tied to its fountains and parks, while in cooler months the villas remain the main destination for a cultural day visit.
