Our visit to Villa d'Este and its fabulous gardens was great. I liked that we could choose a different day to attend up to about 30 days forward. I needed to use the ticket a day prior to my reservation and this is a NO change, NO refund (which is OK). We were able to change our transportation to use the reserved ticket as stated. The villa self tour was relaxing and not rushed. The gardens, of course, were outstanding and we had perfect weather. Headout was easy to reserve our tickets and I printed out our QR sheets; but since I forgot those when we left the U.S., I was happy that I could go back into the website and put the information on my phone. We also took the bus 1.5E to/from Villa Adrianna (Hadrian's villa complex). That, too, was easy and the bus stopped right in front of the ticket office. My QR codes worked well and the staff there was helpful and friendly. This self tour was also awesome and peaceful. What a complex.

Although not a museum, the visit to Villa D'Este was magnificent, beautiful gardens and waterworks, even arriving earlier than booked the staff was very helpful in letting us enjoy it at our pleasure. Great experience!

The entry process to these unique and precious historical sites was easy and worry-free with the Headout advance tickets. To be able to visually experience the inforgettable water fountains of Villa d'Este and the breathtaking ancient ruins of Hadrian's Villa more than justify the 26 Euro price of entry for a 3-day pass. Not to be missed if you visit Rome!

I didn't visit any museums, only Hadrian's Villa and Villa d'Este, which were really outstanding. Everything went well even for the entrances, there were no people.

It's not so much the ticket that's interesting as the time of our visit. In September, there's hardly anyone around and we had almost all the sites to ourselves :o) And the single ticket for all 3 sites is really practical. I recommend taking the audioguides offered at each site for 4€ (discounted with the entrance ticket ;o)), it's a real plus for discovering their history.

Your experience

There's plenty to explore in Italy outside Rome, The Eternal City. One such example is Tivoli, an hour east of the capital. This hilltop town was once the summer retreat for ancient Romans and the Renaissance rich. Today it is known for its 16th-century UNESCO World Heritage Site, the Villa d'Este. Exploring this lavish Renaissance retreat is simply a treat for the eyes. Expect landscaped gardens, lavish fountains, statues, and grottoes that will take your breath away.

Built for Ippolito d'Este, the 16th-century cardinal, and statesman, the Villa d'Este is awe-inspiring inside and out, and a much-copied model for European gardens. With your ticket, you can admire its impressive gardens, stroll along paths circled enveloped by statues, and listen to the tinkling of water from the fountains on its endless terraces. Inside the villa, see stunning wall-to-wall frescoes in lavish halls and rooms.
