Monumental buildings but not at it best in late November. Impressive row of holm oak made an impression. Would love to visit when the water attractions was in play
Lovely place. I am a bit sorry that we could not see the gardens and the villa I side but apparently there are still people living there. It is a bit hard to find the entrance because there many private property signs and there was nobody to give us some information.
Nice view of grand villa. Tourists are allowed only up to the gardens at the front of the villa.
Amazing place! I will go back soon! ❤️
Simply stunning. It's hard to believe this is still a private residence and not some sort of government building or museum, as many of the old villas have become over time. This is Roman opulence at its finest. It's worth taking the bus trip from Rome to Frascati just to peer through the gates. The surrounding town is steeped in equal amounts of history as the villa, so it's a wonderful day out
Although you can't enter the villa itself, the grounds are definitely worth exploring. Make your way behind the villa and you will find some lovely fountains and sculptures. Then keep going up the hill towards a very large park. From the front of the villa there is a great view of Rome in the distance.
Unfortunately the villa was not open for visit. The building is beautiful but could use some maintenance and a new paint job. Nice view over the valley up to Rome and the vatican!
Spectacular venue high above Rome.

This wine tour and pasta making class was more than we could have hoped for. We were greeted at the train station with the rest of our group, given history about the local area on the trip to the vineyard and then treated to the most incredible wine and food throughout the experience. We were talked through the pasta making class by the most passionate Italian cook and then got to taste our creations! We met other people on the day who had travelled from all over the world and we got to see into how wine was made half a decade ago and what the future for the vineyard looks like. An unmissable experience!
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ A Highlight of Our Trip! This pasta and wine class was absolutely amazing – fun, hands-on, and full of authentic Italian charm. We learned how to make fresh pasta from scratch, paired with delicious local wines and great conversation. The hosts were warm, welcoming, and full of knowledge. The setting was beautiful, the food unforgettable, and the whole experience felt personal and special. Don’t miss this if you’re in the area!
Amazing day from start to finish! Our guide had so much enthusiasm and energy! We did the wine tour with farmhouse lunch. We were greeted at the train station, had a town tour with a wine stop at a local Osteria, then off to the vineyard, and finally Minardi family farmhouse where we were fed and got to try lots of wines. Plus a surprise musical performance too. I would recommend to anyone visiting Rome.
10/10 do recommend this pasta making and wine tasting experience! From Paola picking us up from the train station, to the interactive, vibrant cooking class, to winery tour and samples, this experience made our time in Rome that much better! Not to mention the pasta we made was absolutely delicious! Met some wonderful people on our tour as well. Do this tour you won’t regret it!
We loved every aspect of this tour! The host, Nico, was fun, engaging and informative, and the Chef, Anna, was a joy as she taught us to make pasta. The food and wine was fantastic, and the views from the winery were spectacular. We met the owner, Umberto, and were so humbled by howhe shared his home and grapes. This tour was the highlight of our visit to Rome. Thank you for the experience!
I was a bit hesitant when I saw the price for this wine tour and pizza making class, but I must say we really got value for our money. The guide was kind and nice and very welcoming and the pizzaiolo was very good and nice as well. The place is amazingly beautiful, really hitting what i imagined. The view from the terrace was great with a view of the valley and Rome. A ide from the tour, we got to make pizzas and taste the local Wine and Figs with the focaccia. Both food and wine was plenty and I am really glad we tried it. It lived up to all my expectations and I recommend this to all who favors Italian food and living.
What a beautiful day we had in Frascati yesterday! Thank you Umberto, Paola, Anna Maria and everyone who made this pasta master class, wine tasting unforgettable 🙌🏼 loved hearing Umberto about his family story, beautiful house and the region. We will come back for the pizza class!
We had a wonderful day at the Pasta and Wine Class! Transportation was so easy with getting picked up at the train station, and our guide had such interesting stories about the winery and the town of Frascati. We enjoyed touring the winery and tasting the wines, and learning about the process of making it. Making the pasta let each of us be involved, and of course eating it was the best! Taking a day away from the busyness of Rome and doing this class was one of the highlights of our trip!

Michelangelo's statue of Moses dominates this coffered 400s church, also home to St. Peter's chains.
Slide 1 of 8
San Pietro in Vincoli (Saint Peter in Chains) was a deeply memorable stop for my wife and me during our time in Rome, blending powerful history with remarkable art. Originally built in the 5th century to house the relic of the chains that bound Saint Peter during his imprisonment in Jerusalem, the basilica holds these sacred chains beneath the main altar—revered as a symbol of Peter’s faith and resilience. The church itself is serene and modest in comparison to some of Rome’s grander basilicas, but it holds one of Michelangelo’s most breathtaking masterpieces: the monumental statue of Moses, part of the unfinished tomb of Pope Julius II. Michelangelo’s Moses is famed for its lifelike detail and the striking expression on the prophet’s face, complete with the distinctive horns drawn from a mistranslation of the Hebrew Bible. Standing in front of such an iconic work, surrounded by centuries of faith and history, made for a powerful and unforgettable experience.
Foc attraction, but you need to be early. I reached before 8am morning was able to get in with minimum wait. If you have a good stamina, can consider add on a tickets to go up the top of Fabricca di San Pietro in Vatican to get close up view for roof top painting also nice scenery view.
A beautiful church with some amazing painting as well as the statue of Moses made by Michelangelo. There is also a box containing the chains that were used on St. Peter. A must see place in Rome.
Is big. Is great. Is huge. A must to see while in Rome. A tour is recommended for a visit It shows richness, power, lavishness and money to create this magnificent cathedral Seems it was created a gigantic church with lot of churches inside along the complex cathedral.
As I stood in the hallowed halls of Basilica San Pietro in Vincoli, the majestic sounds of the organ enveloped me, transporting me to a realm of spiritual connection. The music seemed to bridge the gap between heaven and earth, and I felt an overwhelming sense of unity with the divine. The intricate carvings and stunning architecture of the basilica added to the sense of awe, but it was Michelangelo's breathtaking sculpture that truly stole my breath. The way the light danced across the single block of marble, expertly carved to bring forth a masterpiece, left me speechless. In this sacred space, art and faith converged, and I felt my spirit soar.
Very underrated church! From outside, it looks unassuming and not like a typical church building. But inside are two of the most interesting things: chains of Apostle Peter and Michelangelo's Moses! Near a building, there is a nasoni - a public drinking water fountain.
The Basilica of San Pietro in Vincoli, located in Rome, is most famous for housing Michelangelo’s renowned statue of Moses, which forms part of the unfinished tomb of Pope Julius II. This masterpiece, admired for its lifelike detail and powerful expression, is considered one of the greatest works of Renaissance sculpture. The basilica itself was originally built in the 5th century to preserve the relic of Saint Peter’s chains, which, according to tradition, were the very chains that bound the Apostle during his imprisonment in Jerusalem and Rome. In addition to its artistic and spiritual treasures, the church also serves as the burial site for several popes and cardinals, making it a place of both religious and historical significance.
This church is best known for housing Michelangelo's statue of Moses, part of the tomb of Pope Julius II. Michelangelo's Moses (completed in 1515), while originally intended as part of a massive 47-statue, free-standing funeral monument for Pope Julius II, became the centerpiece of the Pope's funeral monument and tomb in this, the church of della Rovere family. Moses is depicted with horns, connoting "the radiance of the Lord", due to the similarity in the Hebrew words for "beams of light" and "horns". This kind of iconographic symbolism was common in early sacred art, and for an artist horns are easier to sculpt than rays of light. It's a must

Authentic Cantina with locally manufactured wine. Absolutely worth paying a visit while in Frascati. It is located not far from the city centre and the bus station (just all the way up the stairs). Hospitable owners and locally produced fresh wine. Visited the place several times and always recommend it to whoever decides to visit Frascati. Would love to come back one day!
Loved Cantina da Santino. The wine is fantastic and the atmosphere is as authentic small village as you can get. The owner is extremely nice. I highly recommend taking a break here and enjoying a half or even full liter of local wine! Grazie mille!
100% got tourist taxed here for speaking broken Italian. Crazy expensive if you're not in the doors of Italian culture.
Great place, great owner, real local feel, affordable wine, full pours, homemade wine! A must while you’re away from the hustle and bustle of Rome
Very good wine. The owner produces the wine himself and gives out very full glasses. Can only recommend. Plus the seating arrangement is very nice. Typical Italian old school flair!
Wonderful, generous, and casual
(Translated by Google) Fantastic place where time seems to have stopped. Excellent wine directly poured by the lady from the owner. A little tiring to get to but worth it. (Original) Posto fantastico dove il tempo sembra essersi fermato. Ottimo vino direttamente spillato dalla dama dall'oste proprietario. Un po' faticoso da raggiungere ma ne vale la pena.
(Translated by Google) Happy to have discovered that a real fraschetta in Frscati still exists! Santino is a very friendly and pleasant owner! We had a wonderful evening! Thank you!

Had a great time there. The students were very forthcoming in giving the history of the villa.
Beautiful villa and view over Rome. It should be restructured a bit
Very small but a worthwhile and free adventure!
(Translated by Google) Enchanting villa, now home to a literary academy. Entrance with a free guided tour can be booked quickly and easily through the site. You will be accompanied along the way by one of the students or professors who live, live and study within the Academy.

A pleasant hour to spend in this place full of wonderful views and a well-kept Italian garden. All completely free and not easy to find in our country. I highly recommend it. If you then combine the visit with a very pleasant walk in Frascati, then everything becomes truly fantastic. There is no private parking but outside, with due respect for others, it is possible to park cars on the roadside without major inconvenience. Highly recommended visit. (Original) Villa incantevole, oggi sede di una Accademia di letteratura . Prenotabile l'ingresso con visita guidata gratuita attraverso il sito in modo facile e veloce. Si sarà accompagnati lungo il percorso da uno degli studenti o professori che abitano, vivono e studiano all'interno dell'Accademia. Oltre alla storia della famiglia Falconieri , si può così entrare nel mondo di questi studenti con racconti di vita scolastica e percorsi di studio. Una piacevole ora da trascorrere all'interno di questo luogo ricco peraltro di panorami meravigliosi e di un curato giardino all'italiana. Il tutto in piena gratuità non facile da trovare nel nostro paese. Lo consiglio vivamente. Se poi alla visita si associa una piacevolissima passeggiata a Frascati, allora tutto diventa davvero fantastico. Non c'è un parcheggio privato ma al dì fuori ,con il dovuto rispetto per gli altri, è possibile parcheggiare le macchine a bordo strada senza grossi disagi. Visita straconsigliata.
(Translated by Google) A wonderful experience. The villa can be visited by advance reservation, with free admission and a guaranteed panoramic view. The guide was very kind and, above all, thorough. I recommend it for those who love culture close to home. (Original) Bellissima esperienza. La villa si visita su prenotazione anticipata, ingresso gratuito e con vista panoramica garantita.

Great collection. A nice concert / performance hall upstairs. The people who run the place were very friendly and helpful.
Beautiful little museum in the historical Aldobrandini Stables.
Really nice little museum, very quiet but after 3 days in Rome that was very welcome. A few notices in english but you will need google translate. Beautiful gallery space above. Absolutely worth the 3 euros it cost me.
The statue of Aphrodite is currently on display and there are quite interesting models of all the surrounding villas as well. Definitely recommend going here, it is a small exhibition but the price is less than your cup of tea.
Very Nice visite, for the special event the guide was also the director of the museum ( Young and a well of knowledge 👌😉 ) , the museum has really nice piece of art form the tusculum period and area , reproduc tion of the different villas, statues , etc
Good information about the past ancient roman and their life. It contain also parts of statutory, parts of tools used for eating. Some good paints of old Frascati.

It was a great decision to visit this wonderful winery! Flavia was our guide, and she provided a fascinating and informative tour. The place is truly beautiful. We also had a tasting session with snacks, and my friends immediately placed an order for wine to be delivered to the USA. Next time I'm in Castelli Romani, I will definitely visit again and bring my friends along!
Great tour of the winery followed by a wine tasting of two white and one rose wine. There was a charcuterie board consisting of two sheep cheeses including a pecorino. There was a local salami and speck. Also a vegetable pie. The wines were delicious and the grounds are beautiful. Good day trip from Rome. It's a half hour train ride and a seven minute taxi ride to the winery.
Azienda Biologica De Sanctis was amazing!! The vineyard is in a beautiful setting. We had a different tour cancel the morning-of due to a positive Covid test, so we called around to look for other available tours. They were very accommodating of our last minute request!! The tour was nice and very informative. The whole experience felt very personal, and our guide answered all of our many questions about the wine-making process. We got to try three different delicious wines that were paired with meats and cheeses. It was inspiring to hear about Francesco’s passion for his work. Overall, one of my favorite experiences from our visit to Rome. I cannot recommend enough!!!
Everyone here was very nice and welcoming. We arrived late to our reservation and they still accepted us and gave us an amazing tour! The wines we tried were very rich and top of the line. Overall really great experience and even better hospitality
We really enjoyed being in this winery! Flavia is a great guide. They really care about the environment and the quality of their wines and you can see it all around the winery. The tasting was great too. I cannot recommend enough!
We did a tour & tasting and it was really good. Beautiful vineyard, great people and good wines. We also stayed in the tiny house for 2 nights and we really loved that as well. Beautiful place to spend the night right inbetween the grapevines. We would definitely recommend.
Chiara was very friendly and showed us around the vineyard. It’s a family operated business and the wine has a really good quality and is organic. We really recommend a tasting of the Frascati and the Rosè. We were lucky to see the harvesting too.
Great experience! The owner was very hospitable and friendly. The surroundings are beautiful and the place is really peaceful!

Slide 1 of 8
Chiesa del Gesù is a truly awe-inspiring sanctuary where art and spirituality intertwine in the most breathtaking way. Upon entering, you’re immediately struck by how the walls come alive with vibrant, masterfully executed artworks that infuse the space with energy and beauty. Each mural and fresco is a testament to the creativity and devotion of its creators, transforming the church into a dynamic gallery that invites both contemplation and wonder. The intricate details of the paintings capture both historical narratives and spiritual symbolism, offering layers of meaning to explore at every turn. The interplay of light and color enhances the overall ambiance, creating an atmosphere that is both uplifting and deeply serene. It’s clear that every brushstroke was thoughtfully placed, contributing to a harmonious blend of art and faith. This remarkable fusion of sacred tradition and contemporary artistic expression makes a visit to Chiesa del Gesù a unique and enriching experience. Whether you’re an art enthusiast, a history buff, or someone seeking a moment of peaceful reflection, this gem is sure to leave a lasting impression. A solid 5-star experience that celebrates beauty, culture, and spiritual depth.
Absolutely stunning baroque church! The ceiling frescoes are breathtaking, and the detail everywhere is incredible. A must-see in Rome, and surprisingly peaceful compared to other big sites.
Ideology and religious conviction apart, this place is jaw dropping. I believe it is the most decorated church I have ever seen. Interestingly enough the outside is quite austere. As you step into it you are drawn to to a surreal world of ornaments, relics, and illusions. Can you believe how sophisticated the overhanging panels are? They provide such a unique 3D illusion that's supported by panels covering the church ceiling and even shaded area to accentuate the effect. The two small chapels on both sides of the main nave are really conducive to introspection, reflections and dare I say spiritual connection? If you are into art, architecture and can abstract faith from religion, this place will leave you in awe.
Beautiful church with incredibly art inside. Also contains relics from St. Francis Xavier. I recommend anyone into architecture and art go here. Shoulders and knees must be covered. Please respect the holy area.
I am not a religious person but I came here to visit the beautiful Chiesa del Gesu, it is absolutely awe inspiring and beautiful. I would recommend coming here respectfully and enjoying the splendour of this place. It must truly be a pleasure to worship here.
Just a few minutes from Piazza Venezia, the Church of the Gesù is the mother church of the Jesuits and a masterpiece of early Baroque art. Built between 1568 and 1584 by Vignola and Giacomo della Porta, it became a model for countless Jesuit churches around the world. Inside, the single wide nave and the rich decorations reflect the spirit of the Counter-Reformation. Don’t miss the stunning ceiling fresco, The Triumph of the Name of Jesus, by Giovanni Battista Gaulli (Baciccio) — a dramatic illusion where angels and clouds seem to burst through the ceiling. On the left, the Chapel of Saint Ignatius of Loyola dazzles with marble, gold, and precious stones. Each evening, a short light and sound show reveals the statue of the saint, a must-see for visitors. The Gesù perfectly captures the Jesuit vision: faith expressed through beauty and emotion. Whether you’re an art lover or a pilgrim, this church is one of Rome’s most inspiring stops.
It is the main church of the Jesuit Order and a model for Jesuit architecture worldwide. This is a beautiful and quiet church with an incredible ceiling. You can’t help but admire the ceiling. The church was built in the late 16th century, largely funded by Cardinal Alessandro Farnese. Its single-nave layout became a defining feature of Baroque church design. The ceiling features Baciccio’s famous fresco, The Triumph of the Name of Jesus, celebrated for its dramatic illusionism. The entrance is free
Breathtaking. Take your time. Sit and ponder the Divine and Man’s need to recreate it on Earth. Chiesa del Gesù is a magnificent Baroque church in Rome, rich with stunning frescoes and intricate decorations. The grand altar and ceiling art captivate visitors, creating a powerful spiritual atmosphere. It’s a must-see for art lovers and those seeking a glimpse into Rome’s religious history.

(Translated by Google) In my opinion, the church is otherwise beautiful. I noticed black moss growing inside, but I used it in the kitchen as a spice. The church is still not very welcoming, but I go there every Sunday to pick up black moss; it's truly fantastic! In my opinion, the only good thing about this church is the moss; I recommend it. (Original) A parer mio la chiesa è diversamente bella. Ho notato che qui dentro ci cresce il muschio nero, tuttavia l'ho utilizzato in cucina come spezzia.

Secondo me l'unica cosa buona di questa chiesa è il muschio, ve lo consiglio.

(Translated by Google) Very ancient bell tower and altar. A place of true spirituality. It can be easily reached on foot from the main square of the town. (Original) Campanile e altare molto antichi. Un luogo di vera spiritualità. Si raggiunge facilmente a piedi dalla piazza principale del paese.
(Translated by Google) Very ancient cathedral built between 1100-1200. Built on the remains of a Roman villa. (Original) Cattedrale antichissima sorta tra il 1100-1200. Sorta su i resti di una villa Romana.
(Translated by Google) The oldest church in Frascati with its bell tower which seems to have originally been a watchtower then converted into a bell tower. In Romanesque style with three floors of three-lancet windows decorated with marble columns and marble decorations.

(Translated by Google) Beautiful Church located in the center of Frascati. It is the church where I got married in June. High ceilings, a beautiful bell tower and fantastic tapestries are its strong points. It is also known by the name of San Rocco as two images of San Sebastiano and Sano Rocco were found after the plague epidemic of 1656. The church was destroyed in 43 by bombing, but was subsequently renovated and reopened. (Original) Bellissima Chiesa situata nel centro di Frascati. E' la chiesa dove a Giugno mi sono sposato. Soffitti alti, un bellissimo campanile e fantastici arazzi sono i suoi punti di forza.

Elegant villa housing exhibits of past resident, Mussolini, with an art museum in its formal garden.
Slide 1 of 8
Well maintained villa turned into a museum that Mussolini lived in for awhile. Overall worth the visit if you have an extra day in the city but it wouldn't be prioritized over the main key attractions of the city.
A noble estate, now a public park, in the heart of Rome’s Nomentana neighborhood, owned at various times by some of the city’s most prominent families. Definitely worth a visit for the Casino Nobile and art exhibits. During the Fascist era, it was ‘lent’ to Mussolini and for WWII era history buffs, it is interesting to see. On the weekends, with advance reservation, it’s possible to visit the bunker built in the war years which was the site of a 1st century tomb. The Owl House as well as Serra Moresca are noted for their unique architecture. Great museum to visit, with no crowds.
Park and casinos are beautifuly restored and nice to explore but the artwork is not impressive when compared to other villas in Rome. Entry tickets are expensive making the trip not a great value for money in comparison to quality of art on display.
The museum of Villa Torlonia, in Cassino Nobile, the main building in the park, was built in the early 19th century for the wealthy Torlonia family. It is an elegant Neoclassical mansion with stucco decoration and richly adorned interiors but the exterior is currently being renovated so is covered with scaffolding and cloth. The top floor at this time, houses an interesting art exhibition from the Roman School. From 1925 to 1943 the villa served as the official residence of Benito Mussolini, who added air-raid shelters beneath the property. You can visit the bunker but be aware you’ll need to book a specific timeslot, which you can do online or at the Villa. I went in the morning without booking and the only time left that day was 4pm so I shall have to go back another time. The park is easy to get to on the 62 bus or you can walk from Porta Pia in about 30 mins. It’s best value to get a combined ticket for the 3 or 4 museums in the park which costs a few euros more than a single entry.
There are different space to visit here. I was not so impressed by the main building and it's collection. However, the house with vitrages is in the list must see
It is not a place I knew, I entered because I saw it on my way, and I fell in love, beauty, history and architecture
4/5 stars because the postcard selection in the gift shops is rather poor :( THE BUNKER CAN ONLY BE VISITED ON SATURDAYS AND SUNDAYS WITH AN ADVANCED RESERVATION! There are several museums in this park so I recommend the ones you want to visit beforehand. Each building charges a separate entrance fee (but there is a combo ticket). I think it’s only worth visiting all of them if you qualify for some sort of discount. Otherwise, pick one or two of the buildings/museums to explore and just enjoy the park.
Central building of an ensemble of 4 museums, for which I highly recommend to buy the combo-ticket, since all 4 completely deserve attention. Overall this is a half-day program or, depending on your rhythm, a full day.

Good vine and food. great view
This is an excellent choice for an open air wedding ceremony and reception. It's a beautiful setting with lots of opportunities for photographs. The quality of the food is superb and what better venue than a vineyard!
(Translated by Google) Nice place. And...an amazing loose red, in my opinion the best in the Castelli area. 2 euros per liter 😉 But the white is no joke at all, with its 13° and a lively hint of excellent mineral. Extraordinary cellar since 1713. 👏👏👏 (Original) Bel posto. E..un rosso sfuso strepitoso a mio parere il migliore della zona dei Castelli. 2euro al litro 😉 Ma il bianco non scherza affatto, con i suoi 13° e una punta vivace di minerale ottimo. Cantina dal 1713 straordinaria. 👏👏👏
(Translated by Google) I have bought their bulk wine several times which I found to be a good compromise between quality and price but I don't think I will go back again. The quality has significantly deteriorated and last time the red was vinegar. I understand that €2 per liter is an affordable price, but if it has to be undrinkable then no (Original) Ho comprato più volte il loro vino sfuso che ho trovato un buon compromesso tra qualità e prezzo ma non credo di ritornarci più. La qualità è notevolmente peggiorata e l'ultima volta il rosso era aceto. Capisco che 2€ litro siano un prezzo conveniente, ma se deve essere imbevibile allora no
(Translated by Google) A beautiful farmhouse nestled among the vineyards of Frascati since 1713 where you can buy good IGT 14° red and white wine both bottled and in bulk. Friendly staff (Original) Un bel Casale immerso tra i vigneti di Frascati dal 1713 dove si può acquistare del buon vino rosso IGT 14° e bianco sia imbottigliato che sfuso. Personale gentile
(Translated by Google) A family-run vineyard very close to the bustling city of Rome. We took a train to Frascati and then a taxi to the winery. Gabriela, a super friendly and down-to-earth lady who is part of the 6th generation of wine and olive oil producers, showed us around and told us the history of the place. The tasting felt like a family conversation and the information about the wine was presented in a lighthearted manner. She speaks excellent Portuguese, having spent her childhood in Brazil. Excellent choice, delicious wines (we wanted to buy them all) and a place full of history! Highly recommended! (Original) Um Vinhedo familiar e bem próximo da agitada Roma. Pegamos um trem p Frascati e depois umbtaxi até a vinícola. Quem nos mostrou e contou a história do lugar foi a Gabriela, uma senhora super simpática e simples que faz parte da 6a geração de produtores de vinho e azeite. A degustação pareceu uma conversa em família e as informações sobre o vinho foram apresentadas de maneira leve. Ela fala um português excelente, pois viveu a infância no Brasil. Excelente escolha, vinhos deliciosos (queríamos comprar todos) e lugar cheio de história! Super recomendado!
(Translated by Google) Spectacular ! Casale Marchese is breathtakingly beautiful! Elegant, classy, ​​where history emerges and fascinates in every detail. Not to mention their delicious wines which have won and continue to win numerous international awards. I therefore highly recommend and congratulations again. See you very soon (Original) Spettacolare ! Casale Marchese e' di una bellezza da lasciare senza fiato ! Elegante , di Classe, dove la Storia affiora e affascina in ogni dettaglio. Per non parlare poi dei loro Vini buonissimi e che che hanno vinto e che continano a vincere numerosi premi Internazionali. Consiglio quindi vivamente e ancora complimenti. A prestissimo
(Translated by Google) A Lazio winery that leaves its mark. A Frascati table wine that deserves as a value bottle. The other bottles are superb, tasting is believing. Even going to visit them is a pleasure, passing through vineyards and tree-lined avenues is enchanting. (Original) Una casa vinicola laziale che lascia il segno. Un vino da tavola Frascati che merita come una bottiglia di valore. Le altre bottiglie sono superbe, assaggiare per credere. Anche andare a trovarli è un piacere, passare tra vigneti e viali alberati è incantevole.

(Translated by Google) Villa Lancellotti, among the Tuscolana villas, retains a very special aura, not only for the architectural qualities, the great artistic landscape and botanical value, what is most striking is that every internal environment is intact as if it had still been lived in. It is therefore a museum and a home at the same time. (Original) Villa Lancellotti, tra le ville tuscolana conserva un'aura del tutto speciale, non solo per le qualità architettoniche, il grande valore artistico paesaggistico e botanico, quello che più colpisce é che ogni ambiente interno è intatto come se fosse vissuto ancora.

Of the statues found during the excavations of Tusculum decorate the villa. Part of the villa's garden has become a public park with the name Parco dell'Ombrellino.

Cuore della Perla dei Castelli Romani. Fervente di cultura enologica oltre che gastronomica.
