Hotel Flora

​The 
Flora Hotel in Frascati (4 stars) is an elegant liberty-style building surrounded by a pretty and well-kept garden, right in the heart of the town. You can't help admiring it as you approach the center of town, with its pristine facade.

The hotel comprises:
- Villa Flora, the main building with 15 rooms and 3 junior suites, a reception area, reading hall, restaurant and bar; 
- Villa Le Camelie, an annex to the main villa, with 19 rooms.

If you arrive by car there is internal parking, for your convenience and peace of mind, but it is also just a few minutes walk to the station, so Rome is a handy 28 minutes away. Fiumicino airport is 35km, approx. 45 minutes by car. There is a welcoming reading hall, Internet Wi-Fi (always available) and its own restaurant that can seat up to 60 people (90 as a buffet) and offers lots of local cuisine. Open to residents and the public. Meeting rooms are available and the roof terrace has an amazing view of Villa Aldobrandini. 

Cacciani

'Cacciani' is an institution in Frascati. Not only locally but Internationally. Bang smack in the center with a wonderful panoramic view, it was opened way back in 1922. The Cacciani family have seen many a film star and personality dine in their restaurant. Today they continue to offer quality cuisine, prepared using rigorously seasonal ingredients, and they also have a fabulous wine list. Speaking of wine, they have caves downstairs that are worth the visit alone. Dine on the terrace in the warmer months or, during winter, behind panoramic windows in the warmth of their large dining hall, full of bygone charm and intimacy, created by the lovely retrò screens. You can admire black and white photographs on the walls of film stars that came to dine during the Dolce Vita years, but don't be surprised if you encounter a celebrity that just happens to be sitting on the table next to you...after all Rome (and Frascati) still hosts film sets and here is an excellent getaway far from the madding crowd down in the stuffy City.

Next door, Cacciani is also a 3 star hotel, with 22 rooms, 18 of which have panoramic terraces overlooking Rome

Hotel Villa Tuscolana

The core of the villa dates back to 1578 commissioned by Cardinal Alessandro Rufini, already owner of Villa Rufina (also known as Villa Falconieri). The name "Rufinella” was given to distinguish it from the 'other' villa.

After Rufini's death, Villa Tuscolana belonged the Reverend Apostolic Chamber, that in 1580 bequeathed it to cardinal Guido Ferreri, grandson of Carlo Borromeo and relative of Pio IV.
Many owners followed over the years: cardinal Francesco Sforza, Mario I Sforza, Count of Santa Fiora, Vincenzo de 'Nobili, etc. Then from 1639 the villa stayed in the hands of the Sacchetti family for nearly a century.
The appearance of the seventeenth-century villa, a simple three-floor building with the main facade to Rome, was typical of almost every Tusculum villa, surrounded by luscious gardens.
In 1740, the Sacchetti family gave the Villa to the Jesuits who radically changed its appearance.
Further renovation and additions to the Villa were executed by architect Luigi Vanvitelli famous for the Reggia of Caserta.
During the renovation many archaeological finds came to light, from the Villa of Cicero, called "The Tuscolano", so the name of the villa changed to "Villa Tuscolana".
In 1804 the villa was acquired by Prince Lucien Bonaparte (Napoleon's brother), eager to dig for ruins on the surrounding Tuscolo Hill.
After the kidnapping of the family portraitist (mistaken for Lucien himself) Bonaparte sold the villa in 1820 to Maria Anna of Savoy, Duchess of Sciablese, subsequently to Maria Cristina, wife of King Carlo Felice of Sardinia and later to King Vittorio Emanuele. From 1872 the villa belonged to family Aldobrandini Lancellotti.
Heavily damaged by World War II, the villa was renovated in 1966 by the Salesian Order, then the current owners returned the Villa to its previous grandeur, creating a four star hotel offering 100 rooms and suites and a state-of-the-art spa, inspired by ancient legends of Lymphae, from a tiny island on Lake Paterno, capable of inducing ecstasy, down in the ancient Roman grottoes on the lower ground floor. A cocoon of luxurious treatments. It also has its own à la carte restaurant and conference facilities. A wonderful venue for weddings, business events and family parties.

Casale Sonnino 
An Italian Vacation Rental near Rome
Monte Porzio Catone

"The Casale Sonnino was an experience unlike any other, with the vineyards, the feel of true Roman living and the food!!! We stayed for a week and enjoyed the local wine and restaurants and loved exploring the surrounding hill towns. We even took the metro into Rome and it was quick and easy and inexpensive! It's a once in a lifetime way to travel!" 
- a recent guest review on Tripadvisor.com, April stay

"The Casale Sonnino was the single most important factor in making the our trip to Rome a success… The Casale itself rests on a foundation that is 2000 years old in parts, but the house is fully modern, spacious and absolutely immaculate. The setting is inspiring, bucolic and secure. The owner is a wonderful host.  He was born, raised, and educated in the US, so he speaks perfect English as well as Italian.  He is friendly, accommodating, knowledgeable, We literally couldn't wait to wake up each morning after a good night's sleep in comfortable beds to the waiting breakfast spread over looking ancient Roman hills.  After a long day of sightseeing, we had this beautiful villa all to ourselves…" 
-  a recent guest review on Homeaway.com, October stay 

The Casale Sonnino is a fully renovated 18th Century Villa, built upon foundations dating back to 100 AD when the property belonged to the Roman Senator, Julius Cornutus Tertulus. The villa is surrounded by 30 acres of gardens, vineyards, olive groves, cypress trees and a magnificent Lebanon Cedar. 
Make the Casale is your home away from home while you explore Rome and tour Central Italy.

Typically, weeks run Saturday to Saturday, but the owners try to be flexible according to your requirements.

Pietra di Ponente

The Farmhouse Country-hotel ”Pietra di Ponente” is near a pre-Roman road in the Castelli Romani Hills, between Ciampino, Marino and Grottaferrata. A park of 9.000 mq encompasses the Casale. In the grounds you will find great open spaces and terraces, both covered and exposed, from which you can enjoy splendid views of Rome (yes that is St. Peter's in the photo above!) and the surrounding hills.  ”Pietra di Ponente” is near many of the towns of the Castelli Romani, as well as Castel Gandolfo and Nemi lakes and the Tuscolo archeological park. You can reach Pietra di Ponente both along Via Anagnina or Via dei Laghi. Ciampino airport is about ten minutes away by car. A free shuttle service is available from and to Sassone and Ciampino train stations. It takes only sixteen minutes to get to the centre of Rome. Free transport from and to Ciampino is also available.

(The shuttle service is free from 7 a.m. to 11 p.m).

The restaurant is open all the year long with a seasonal menu proposing  local traditional dishes made with fresh products, cooked there and then, in order to guarantee quality and authenticity. The wine list presents mainly 'Marino' and 'Frascati' of biological production to keep faith to the history of the Casale, which has had its own wine making cellar for wine production from grapes from local vineyards in the surrounding hills since 1850. At that time the wine preservation took place in the charming cave with lateral niches in which barrels of wood were set on hand-sculpted peperino-stone  bases. The cave is still in existence and the air funnels have been restored to become a distinctive architectonic symbol of the property.


Erba Regina

An important local project set up by Dr. Maria Regina Bortolato. "Le Nostre Erbe" - in collaboration with Rome's Tor Vergata University Botanical Garden and GAL Castelli Romani and Monte Prenestini - aims to recuperate and promote the area's traditional herbs, for both gastronomical, health and beauty purposes. Re-proposing fascinating ancient, typical traditions. Along with the Agricultural Reseasrch Center (CRA-FRU), autochthonous fruit trees are also being saved from extinction. This coming Sping (early May) the wonderful 'agritourism' farm-hotel will open to greet guests in an original context, respectful of the local land. Each room has its own garden and en-suite bathroom. The kitchen has been designed to hold cookery classes for guests, and many types of workshops to demonstrate how to transform some of the herbs and flowers into essential oils, soapmaking and much more, will be held throughout the year. Regina also makes her own EV olive oil and wine and collaborates with a local association that brings youngsters with special needs to the farm, offering them occupational therapy. There is a surprising variety of herbs grown on the farm, and Regina's 'customers' include many top Roman chefs.
