Villa itself surrounds three sides of a page that sixteenth-century Benedictine monastery located in the former. The fountain in the side wall, framed in a Doric, contains a statue of the nymph asleep in a cave guarded by d'Este heraldic eagles, with-relief framed in apple branch that connects the villa to the Garden of Hesperides. The main entrance leads into the center of Appartamento Vecchio ("Old Apartment") is made for Ippolito d'Este, with a vaulted ceiling frescoed in secular allegories by Livio Agresti and his students, centered on a large sala, with spectacular views to the main axis garden, which fell in a series of terraces.
