The history behind the little town is fascinating and the story behind the villa is even more captivating. Despite war and neglect, this villa has retained it's beauty with stunning frescoes and breathtaking views of Rome. Daily breakfast was included with our package and offered an array of fruits, nuts, pastries, eggs, bacon, and more. We had a couple of hiccups which included a non-functional power outlet as well as a burnt out light bulb. Although we reported the problems to the front desk and requested them to be fixed, they were not done during our 3 night stay. Be sure to make time to walk around the property, enjoy their pool, and visit the 2nd floor to see the beautiful frescoes. You won't be disappointed.

To say we stayed in a Villa was just another perk about visiting Rome. Located on top of a hill…read morethis villa has historical importance as it was one of the pasts bishops resting place with beautiful views of the city. The daily breakfast included in our package was delightful, offering fresh tomatoes, cheese, sliced salami, juices, variety of breeds, croissants, jellies, yogurts, eggs, bacon, Cappachino, coffee and tea. There was also fresh and dried fruit as well as cereals. My husbands favorite was the bathroom which included a bidet and standing shower. Plenty of parking was available. The only downfall was wifi was spotty throughout the hotel despite us asking for repair. This location is 40 minute drive to rome center, 30 minute train ride to metro termini in rome. They offer free shuttle to the frascati train station as well. We found it easier to drive to san giovani metro station and park off the road. Service was wonderful, except cleaning lady ignored our do not disturb sign.

I 'splurged' on a stay at this villa after our back-to-back Airbnb experiences. I have to say, we…read morewere pleasantly surprised with it! Admittedly, I was a bit worried given the mixed reviews but we arrived in Frascati, phoned the villa and they were at the train station to collect us within 10 minutes. Our room was phenomenal, on the fourth floor, with sweeping views of the entire valley and on both days we were there we could see the Mediterranean (wow!). I spent a lot of time just gazing out the window! We spent some time sunning on the lawn by the 'pool' (very small and frigid in September) but enjoyed lawn bottle service of local Prosecco with simple snacks complimentary with the bottle. The interior and exterior of the building itself are meticulously maintained but the grounds are a little plain. No biggie, just notable. We chose to dine at the in-house restaurant that evening to relax and save ourselves a walk into town. The food was okay but nothing spectacular and the service was harried because they had more guests than they expected. Again, we had local wine which was the highlight (along with the fabulous dessert). The breakfast in the morning is quite nice. Simple but very diverse and yummy. All in all, we felt this place was a good value ($80 rooms was what we booked) for the 'special' factor that it had.

Beautiful hotel at the hillside with stunning views overlooking Rome. The public rooms are nicely…read moredecorated and the walls in the corridors beautifully painted. The rooms, however, are functional and without frills. The people at the reception and the waiters are very friendly and accommodating. The food served at the restaurant is not spectacular, but ok. There was no wine list available. Television was only available in italian. The breakfast buffet is stunningly decorated, but looks at the second glance rather standard. The hotel is located quite a distance away from the city centre. It is therefore a good place to stay if you travel by car, otherwise be prepared to spend some money on taxis. In summary, this is a stunning place at the first glance with some flaws when it comes to the details. I would, however, recommend a stay since the building itself and the views are really impressive.

I feel sort of disappointed after looking at the other reviews. I must have ordered the wrong thing…read morebecause my experience wasn't as magical. It wasn't bad, but I've had plenty of better dishes in Rome. A friend and I stopped in late on a Monday evening after looking EVERYWHERE for a place to eat in Frascati. Our hotel failed to tell us that restaurants in the area close early during the week so we walked around aimlessly until we found this place. It was super crowded, which I believe is because they have a hotel attached. The staff was happy to seat us in the back room though. The whole restaurant has a Pinocchio theme. I know... shocking!!! You'll see Pinocchio painted on the walls and small puppets adorning all of the rooms. Very interesting decor. I wish I knew more on the background of this restaurant and why they chose this theme. I wonder if there is some significance(?) We ordered the pane pizza to start (because... when in Rome...) as well as the stuffed/fried olives which I heard are a must-try. These were both simple but very, very good. I can't have cheese so I went with a pasta dish for my main course. I ordered the pasta cooked with pancetta and I was kind of upset that I did. I know they freshly make their egg pasta but it was basically drowning in fat from the pancetta which took away from the experience. I was only able to eat a few bites and the oil was everywhere. It completely overpowered the pasta. I will say though that the staff was super nice. They helped us to order a cab to our hotel since UBER doesn't work in Frascati as it does in Rome. I think it was really nice of them to do that for us. Our hotel didn't even help us as much as the staff here did! If you come here, get the pizza. Or get anything else on the menu that isn't the oily pancetta pasta. And be sure to take tons of pictures with the decor.
