Cascading Eternity

Holiday Rental Description

Seventies nostalgia meets medieval majesty at this stylish home in Tivoli. Nestled right in the heart of town, just steps from Villa d'Este, it boasts a covetable location and breathtaking views.

The interior exudes an ambience of calm and sophistication, cloaked in rich earthy tones and floods of sunlight. We love the open-plan living space, channelling an early-seventies design aesthetic through clean lines, low-slung furnishings and a free-flowing layout. By contrast, the fully-equipped kitchen's vibrant colour scheme and elaborate tiling offer a playful space for culinary creativity.

Perched on the fifth floor, the magnum opus of this home is the outdoor space. After a restful slumber, open the timber-framed glass doors and step out onto the expansive terrace for spectacular views across Tivoli's ancient rooftops. Cocooned by lush foliage, this is the perfect place to sip your morning espresso while gazing at the striking turrets of Rocca Pia and out towards the rugged peaks of Sabina. After a day of adventure, return here for a glass of wine as the sun sets over the hills.

Home to three UNESCO World Heritage sites and surrounded by stunning scenery, it's easy to see why Romans have flocked to Tivoli for centuries. Here, amid the medieval centre's cobbled streets, you're within easy reach of Roman ruins, majestic churches and elaborate gardens. The Villa Gregoriana, home to the Great Cascade of Tivoli, is an eight-minute stroll from your doorstep, while the Villa of Emperor Hadrian is just fifteen minutes away by car.
