The area
Address
Neighbourhood: Parioli
Young and well-to-do families are the street flavour of Parioli. A new kind of Rome, this area is centuries away from the Renaissance with its pockets of 1930s palaces, tony boutiques, open-air markets and plenty of coffee shops. Parioli was built as an enclave for last century’s haute bourgeois and still represents as such in 21st century Rome. Need a break? The area has several great sporting clubs known for tennis and riding, a wonderful modern art museum, easy access to the zoo (Europe’s oldest), and is nestled around Rome’s very best parks including Villa Borghese, Villa Ada and Villa Glori.

I decided to walk through Villa Ada to get to the Catacombes di Priscilla. Took about 20-25 minutes and on a lovely sunny day, it was a little oasis away from Rome. The park is walled, so you can only enter at certain spots. I entered at Via Panama and walked clockwise to then exit about halfway along Via Salaria. The lake and grassed areas at the north of the park are lovely and full of locals playing football and jogging. The actual Villa Ada seemed to have been converted into an equestrian country club, so it wasn't really work walking into the middle to see it.

Want to get away from the madhouse of the tourist areas of Rome? Grab a blanket, bottle of wine, some bread and cheese, and head to Villa Ada.
This locals only park is a great way to enjoy a lovely afternoon in Rome. Just sit back, relax, read a book, people watch, or catch a nap under a shade tree.
You will not find many, if any, tourists in the area. No public transportation in the area, so plan accordingly.
My suggestion, take the tram to Gelateria Salaria Gelato d'Autore, have the best gelato of your life, then walk the rest of the way to the park!

After some days of an extenuating visit of the amazing Rome and its ancient ruins, I was a bit tired of the huge crowds of people and tourists, the traffic and the noise, and in urgent need of some air and peace. This Villa was more than what I expected, we basically spent the whole day there. We paired it with the visit to the catacombs and from there we went for a walk, took pictures, relaxed, played at the jungle gym (the games where we could fit), ate something, rented a bicycle to explore it more because its huge!. Next time I'm in Rome I'll look for an accommodation nearby so I can go for my daily run there!

Villa Ada is also excellent for jogging, training (in the forest by the creek goimg towards the big lake there are several machines you can use), biking, riding (there is one of the best horse riding facility in Rome) and playing for kids with at least three playgrounds.
if you walk towards the end you can get out just in front of Catacambe di Priscilla that are also very much worth a visit.
In the whole park there is only one bar. They have good smoothies. if you are hungry and are not equipped for a picnic you can get out, go to via di Filomarino and have an excellent lunch at Locanda di Filomarino.

A very large park with a lake and lots of lawns.
Possible to rent a bike by the hour.
It's very pleasant to take a stroll and relax on the many scattered benches.
A very pleasant atmosphere.

We had a lovely couple of hours wandering around the park on my last day of visiting my girlfriend who lives in Rome.
There is a great mix of open areas and wooded trails with hills to raise the heart rate. If you want an alternative to or running bike hire is available.
There is plenty of birdlife and plant life around and one of the ponds is home to a large number of turtles.

Villa Ada is a beautiful natural reserve in the north part of Rome. It has many entrances and each side offers something different. There is a big lake on the north east side by via salaria and many running paths. I personally like going deep into the park for hiking rather than running. The hiking in villa Ada is actually quite easy, the incline isnt as steep as I would like, but the nature is breathtaking, especially on a bright and sunny day. Good location for picnics or a romantic date as well as recreational activities.

This park is one of the green lungs of Roma: is maybe the biggest, but in my opinion it's also cleanest and the most suggestive.
Great for jogging and bike riding.

I am blessed to live within a few minutes of Villa Ada and make sure I take advantage of it. Usually used for my morning runs this park offers all you want I a run. From trail running to hills to flats, it really pushes your cardio and muscles. To top it all off, it's a gorgeous park and very green. Definitely worth visiting for a run or just a Sunday stroll. It's fairly busy on weekends as well with Romans taking advantage of its key location within Rome.

You'll find Romans, not tourists, here. If you want to get a glimpse of everyday life in the Eternal City, stop in, have coffee at the cafe (which has bathrooms), walk around the extensive grounds, and enjoy a slower pace of life. Bike rentals are available: at the top of the park near the cafe, the bike rentals are less than half of what they cost at the lower end of the park near the amusements. There are play areas for kids, a lake, some architectural features not far from the Egyptian Embassy, exercise equipment, and picnic areas. Located near the Catacombs of Priscilla, the park is an oasis of calm away from the hustle and bustle of the city.

Buongiorno , dovendo partecipare ad un concerto serale. Mi consigliate di arrivare con i mezzi pubblici o si può trovare facilmente parcheggio?
Written 29 August 2023
Io vorrei fare un pic nic a cena (a pranzo d’estate fa troppo caldo) sapete dirmi a che ora effettivamente chiude? Perché c’è gente che dice che chiude alle 7:30 e altri dicono che non chiude mai, e avrei bisogno di saperlo per organizzarmi.

Ma la sera i cancelli di villa Ada sulla salaria non dovrebbero essere chiusi?... Stasera erano aperti...
Written 21 November 2019
Buongiorno. Io sono stata a ottobre e, comunque, i cancelli sono aperti fino al tramonto. Immagino che, nel caso di eventi musicali, possano chiudere più tardi.

Ciao a tutti, i cani sono ammessi nel parco?
Written 17 June 2018
Essendo un parco pubblico credo di si rispettando le norme del caso
Written 18 June 2018
Ciao, l'ingresso sulla Salaria (ambasciata egiziana) sicuramente resta aperto tutta la notte, passato di li in diversi orarie ed era sempre accessibile, che poi dopo una certa ora "non è conveniente" stare all'interno è un'altro discorso.

È possibile fare il barbecue?ci sono aree attrezzate co barbecue?
Written 28 March 2018
Purtroppo Villa Ada offre la possibilità di fare picnic. Non è possibile fare barbecue poiché deve essere cautelata l'area da possibili incendi.

Vorrei sapere dove possiamo parcheggiare il pullman turistico mentre visitiamo Villa Ada
Written 11 May 2017
Dentro la Villa non si può parcheggiare, ma deve cercare posto sulla Salaria, o vicino al circolo tennis Parioli o vicino a via panama, dove ci sono due degli ingressi alla villa
Written 12 May 2017
Vorrei sapere se è possibile venire in pullman turistico siamo un gruppo di 54 persone grazie mille.
Written 10 May 2017
Essendo un parco pubblico, l'accesso è libero e gratuito, senza alcuna limitazione di sorta (se non la chiusura serale a seconda delle stagioni). Consiglio di individare preventivamente il punto in cui far fermare il pullman trattandosi di una zona molto trafficata durante il giorno.
Written 10 May 2017
ho letto in alcune recensioni che alle 7e30 la Villa chiude e non è possibile uscire. Vorrei correggere questa informazione perché sia l'ingresso su Via Panama (certo poco agevole quando è sera) sia quello su via salaria all'altezza dell'ambasciata egiziana (invece assolutamente agevole) restano sempre aperti.
