Super nice place. Is still being renovated, but the gastronomy is open and the staff is super friendly. Here you can linger and let your soul dangle on a hike or bike tour to strengthen yourself. Recommended. ??

A journey into the past. Great that something new is emerging here. At the moment "only" the beer garden (Sat & Sun from 12 p.m.) is open due to the construction work on the castle. Definitely worth a visit. Here you can relax (very relaxed, quiet music in the background) and enjoy cold drinks, as well as coffee, cake and a small snack. We are looking forward to the opening of further areas and will definitely be back ??.

Es wird zwar noch gebaut, aber der Biergarten von Schloss Petershagen ist nun wieder geöffnet. Es gibt dort an den Wochenenden zu fairen Preisen Getränke, Kuchen und Kleinigkeiten zum Essen, die man beim Springbrunnen im Schlosshof zu sich nehmen kann. Dabei kann man an den alten Schlossmauern zahlreiche Details entdecken. Sehr nettes Personal sorgt für einen angenehmen Aufenthalt. Es hat uns sehr gut gefallen.

The beer garden has been open in the inner courtyard since May 1st, 2022. At the WEEKEND you can also order a cool drink and/or eat something small. Otherwise you can sit down and let the ancient walls work on you ^^ ? How beautiful ?? The interior of the castle will only be opened later, as a number of maintenance works have to be carried out. I'm already looking forward to a delicious beer ☺

Villa d'Este

The Villa d'Este is a 16th-century villa in Tivoli, near Rome, famous for its terraced hillside Italian Renaissance garden and especially for its profusion of fountains: the extraordinary system contains fifty-one fountains and nymphaeums, 398 spouts, 364 water jets, 64 waterfalls, and 220 basins, fed by 875 meters of canals, channels and cascades, and all working entirely by the force of gravity, without pumps. It is now an Italian state museum, and is listed as a UNESCO world heritage site.

Tivoli had been a popular summer residence since ancient Roman times due to its altitude, cooler temperatures and its proximity to the Villa Hadriana, the summer residence of the Emperor Hadrian I.

The Villa was commissioned by Cardinal Ippolito II d'Este (1509-1572), second son of Alfonso I d'Este, the Duke of Ferrara and grandson of Pope Alexander VI, along with Lucrezia Borgia.
