Villa D'Este, historical background

The Villa was built in 1568 by Cardinal Tolomeo Gallio from a design by Pellegrino Ribaldi. At the end of the 18th Century the villa was bought by marquess Bartolomeo Calderara for his wife... Vittoria Peluso, who restored the building and modified the design of the gardens. In 1815 the property was taken over by Caroline of Brunswick, Princess of Wales and repudiated wife to future George IV of England who gave the estate its current name. The Villa changed hands many times: becoming a hotel for the first time in 1856; for two years from 1868 tzarina Maria Fedorowna lived in the splendid residence, in awe of the surrounding countryside; finally in 1873 the Villa was reopened as a luxurious Hotel, today one of the most famous in world.
