Information

Who it's for: Everyone
With a dog: On a lead

Between one villa and the other, walk the centre. The Rocca Pia, the four-towered castle that Pope Pius II built in the 15th century, is next to Piazza Garibaldi, at the exit of Villa d'Este. From there, along sloping streets, you reach Piazza Rivarola, the Gregorian bridge and the acropolis with the Temple of Vesta. It is the natural way from Villa d'Este to Villa Gregoriana, and along the route are most of the restaurants in the centre.
