Park Hotel Villa Grazioli Grottaferrata

Park Hotel Villa Grazioli is situated in a spectacular 16th century villa surrounded by parkland and a delightful Italian garden in Frascati, near Rome, on a hilltop sloping down towards the Tyrrhenian sea.

The villa, commissioned by Cardinal Carafa, was completed in 1580. Numerous cardinals and aristocratic families resided in the villa over the centuries before the property was purchased by the Duke Pio Grazioli in 1843, whose heirs lived in the villa for over a century. After a period of post war abandon, the building was acquired by the Company Villa Grazioli who carried out extensive restoration work concerning both the villa and the gardens.

On entering the Park Hotel Villa Grazioli, one is met by a quite magnificent display of frescoes by 17th and 18th century artists such as Augusto Ciampelli, painters of the Bologna School and Gian Paolo Pannini. Today, the frescoed salons and galleries of the Park Hotel Villa Grazioli provide the incomparable venues for exclusive meetings and wedding receptions of international importance.

The hotel's guest bedrooms, distributed in the Villa, the Limonaia and the Paggeria are luxuriously appointed with exquisite Louis XVI furniture, and equipped with all the comforts of a modern 4 star hotel. Park Hotel Villa Grazioli's "Acquaviva" Restaurant serves beautifully presented Mediterranean cuisine accompanied by a selection of superb regional wines.
