Ok, so I read the section in Rick Steves Rome 2010 about the day trip to Hadrian's Villa (he mentions to take a certain bus number, but never says where to get off). Funny how he noted that the way out there is confusing yet his directions were not very clear to help out with that problem. Does anyone have a more detailed set of directions for getting to Hadrian's Villa? Thank you.

Tell the bus driver you are going to Hadrian's Villa when you first walk on.
He'll drop you off at the right spot, since he knows you are a tourist. He will point to you and say this is your stop even if you didn't know that. Its a 1/4 mile walk from there, to your left, with no sidewalks down a walled skinny road that later opens up with a side walk. Walk back to that place, its a bus stop with the sign.
Don't stay too late at the Villa - don't go past 18:00. There is no easy, inexpensive, way to get back to Rome if you miss the last bus.
