Villa Adriana (Progetto archeologico dell'UPO) Review

A magical and timeless place. Raccomandatissimo. It would however be to improve the visitor experience. Descriptive panels now faded.

An incredible experience ... the dimension of the villa is enormous. It is hard to believe what Roman architecture has created in 20 years.
A must for all travelers interested in antiquity.

Very suggestive and well organized area. Deserves !!

Nice visit, very interesting remains, a surprise the availability of electric machines to help elderly and disabled people to get on and off the site ... for free.

Magnificent. It is worth a special trip. Guided tour is recommended.The French guide is prepared, capable and nice.
The conservation of the site obviously does not have the means. Sin.
They let you walk on mosaics from 130 AD.
The toilet is neglected.

It is a set of Roman ruins very evocative but quite dilapidated and little care
Audio guides are lousy

One of the UNESCO heritage sites. Beautiful and well kept. I recommend guided tour.
If you visit in the summer I also recommend a hat or a parasol

Beautiful site on a breathtaking scale. Worth the visit, especially if you love history!

Unmissable. Magnificent and majestic villa. Only by seeing it we understand the grandeur of the work

If you think that with only eight euros you can see buildings built by the ancient Romans still in good condition, this should already be enough. Really large and very well kept park. I recommend visiting the season with milder weather than the height of summer. For those who love photography, the sunset is spectacular. Absolutely to visit.

To see everything correctly, a few hours are simply not enough. Great and impressive.

Take a great trip to history, have a good rest while traveling, there are many remains of buildings from the Hadrian era

Public place: Hadrian's Villa many tourists visit the villa that was "of the Emperor Hadrian: many things to visit: you meet foreign people from all places The guide explains since the time of Adrian the Emperor how his life took place very much interesting. I was very enthusiastic.

A dive in history. A few kilometers from Rome, Tivoli amazes you

One of the best Roman archaeological sites in Italy. The villa is located a few minutes from Tivoli, just after the motorway exit. From the comfortable and large car park you can access the park, from which you continue along a large path to the higher site. The majestic remains of the small and large spas, of the villa and of the theater are just some of the points of the site to be admired. Of rare beauty is the Canopus, a large swimming pool decorated with a colonnade with marble statues. Real open-air story.

Beautiful and well preserved place. We happened in the afternoon with a crazy light. I also recommend taking the guide.

Suggestive place for the grandeur of the ruins and the beauty of the same. A greater care in the tourist management of places: recommended route, small brochure to be delivered with the admission ticket etc. They would be welcome.

Villa Adriana was built by Adriano between 118 and 138 D.C. This beautiful residence is surrounded by greenery and with an important historical heritage, to become a UNESCO heritage site in 1999, it is located in Tivoli (about thirty kilometers from Rome). In the villa we can find residential buildings, the baths (Big and Small), nymphaeums, pavilions, libraries and gardens, a Greek theater, etc ... It is really worth getting lost in this beautiful journey in which to see wonderful historical finds. I recommend the longest route (about 3h) in which you will be able to see all the artistic beauties (except of course those subject to restoration, for the moment the small baths can not be visited). The full ticket costs 10 , I would have liked a map but must be purchased separately as the audio guide. Site descriptions are allocated to the site on panels, and some arrows will show you directions.

This site was magnificent. This is what we understand when we see the reproduction. But even in the state of remains it remains a superb site to visit.

A dead set ripper site....How hard those poor slaves must have worked, it is no wonder it took 25 years to build.

The archaeological area is beautiful but lacking in the toilets

Luogo splendido ricco di reperti archeologici e atmosfera surreale romana

Really huge and fascinating to imagine what it was like.
A must for those who go to Rome.
Too bad that there are no dedicated shuttle services and that despite the improvements cries the heart to still see a certain degree of neglect and failure to restore.

Unmissable! Above all expectations. Spend at least half a day, if not the whole day. Pleasant open-air living museum suitable for all ages. To be combined with the reading of Marguerite Yourcenar.

Beautiful villa Adriana, shame about the very tall grass that reigned everywhere and the dirt scattered on the ground .... an ugly Italian business card for all the foreigners present .. really a pity

The extensive ruins are great and it is also a very nice green break from the hustle and bustle of Rome

Spectacular place, we found a guide very prepared to see it, the tour did not last long but was essential to understand.

Poorly managed and lacking cleanliness. No visitor facilities But the ruins are good.

Worth a visit if you are in the area but not outstanding as lots of old ruins and not much in the way of mosaics or artifacts. Impressive large area but quite run down and not much restoration.

The whole of the ruins and the park are incredibly suggestive, the path due to the restrictions for the covid has cut some parts, but it does not prevent you from admiring the grandeur of these imperial works. The maritime theater is charming and the canopus is romantic. The park is well maintained and the park is littered with fountains. A must see.

To do but a little quick even if the guide is very good and understanding, Adrien's villa would deserve one to two hours more

Unique experience. Although I lived a few kilometers away, I had never dedicated myself to visiting the beauties outside the capital, but the day dedicated to Villa Adriana is really well spent. To enjoy all the greatness of the place there is a real need to go from the opening time, but it is something that must be done, especially if you have the possibility to go there not being too far away. Excavations, spas, theaters and academy. A single day might not be enough to postpone contemplating at least some of the structures of which it was composed. WONDERFUL

Unfortunately, I have collected many complaints from those who have visited the post Covid site, of being left abandoned to themselves, without audio guide, totems or legible signs. Visitors stay
left abandoned and orphaned by history. Given the global importance of the site, I believe that what has been found is really a serious lack.

5 stars for the location, 2 stars for the management.

Neli 'enchanting setting of the town of Tivoli, Villa Adriana is a treasure of history, archeology and contemporary beauty that it can not be missed!

Beautiful but only it is interesting to do with a guide, otherwise everything is neglected, there are almost no explanations ...

Unfortunately they give you no map and no information about this beautiful place at the ticket office. Badly sign posted too

Fabulous place like our beautiful Italy, the anger of finding unattended mosaics and artifacts ruins the atmosphere. The staff, needless to say, are rude and practically useless.

An all-Italian heritage of humanity, an imperial villa in Tivoli, a marvelous place from which one can grasp the artistic and engineering greatness achieved at the time of Emperor Hadrian.
To visit with eyes wide open.

The place is very suggestive and fascinating to see the remains of the Roman splendor and splendor is unmatched
The painful notes are .....
Dirt neglect tall weeds everywhere works started and not completed many areas of the entire house are inaccessible .... Etc etc

Fantastic atmosphere! You can breathe the grandeur of ancient Rome

Villa Adriana is an archaeological site known all over the world.
When you go there, you should take a guide.

Where Roman architecture has reached its peak at the expressive level. It would take more work to bring it back to the maximum enjoyment by the public

A dive into the past but also into nature, a truly interesting historical route but also very relaxing for the green of which it is surrounded.

Villa Adriana is truly wonderful and immense. I absolutely recommend to see.

Visit it with a guide who will explain to you how much a people lived centuries before us could be ahead of us! We presume to have invented everything, but first there was the Roman Empire. Dogs can enter!

Tivoli is a charming mountain town appreciated for its beauty since antiquity, and Villa Adriana with an area of 120 hectares, inaugurated in 121 AD by Emperor Adrian is presented as a travel diary of the Roman Empire reproducing the most beautiful conquered places.

I did not get in, the very unfriendly staff is unreasonable

I haven't visited it yet, but it's a shame that no one has answered the phone for two days

Beautiful site, well run considering the size! The story surrounded by greenery allows you to spend a quiet day! Bookshop well stocked, just wish along with the ticket does not alleghino a map! Despite this, the signage inside works great, there are health services and water fountains everywhere

I do not think you can comment? It is commented on itself.

Beautiful place, I recommend you go there even if there are no places to eat and drink apart from a hut after the ticket office with drink machines.
There are no guides because of the covid and there are not many explanations ...
But it's a beautiful place nonetheless.

Every word is superfluous. Here you can admire the greatness and elegance of the Roman empire in a "reduced" version

Spectacular archaeological site, run in an embarrassing way: poor and imprecise visual guide, overall dirty and neglected area, no public toilets in the ticket area, poor audio guide. A sad example of inability to valorize a unique place in the world, unfortunately ...
