I had the pleasure of staying at Villa Grazioli as our friends were getting married in Frascati and holding their dinner reception at the Villa. 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. read more

To say we stayed in a Villa was just another perk about visiting Rome. Located on top of a hill this 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. read more

An amazing, historic hotel set in the hills outside of Rome. We were upgraded to a suite on the top floor during our visit in early October 2011 with sweeping views of the countryside. A large portion of the villa is devoted to vast open public spaces including the gallery on the 1st floor (one up from ground floor) that are covered with amazing, colorful murals on the walls and ceilings. The location outside of the hubbub of Rome was nice as was waking up to the sound of roosters crowing in the distance. read more

Park Hotel Villa Grazioli - Hotels Near Me - Grottaferrata, RM

This place is amazing. I usually stay in Rome, but the Villa Grazioli really makes an argument for the outskirts. The train ride to and from Rome offers great views of ancient aqueducts and only takes about 20 minutes. The historic villa has lovely gardens, a quaint pool, beautiful views, and is gorgeous in and of itself. The 2nd floor ceilings are painted in fresco and the marble inlaid floors are stunning. The chef is stellar, the wine exceptional, and the staff eager to help. Perfect. read more

Staying at the Villa Grazioli was truly an enjoyable experience. Since I was arriving into Ciampino I decided to give this one a a shot instead of the new Marriott Courtyard which was in the opposite direction. The hotel consists of a main building with 13 rooms and two adjacent buildings with more rooms. We stayed in the main building on the top floor which feature a beautiful view of Rome. The rooms are the only places that have been restored to a modern luxury hotel standard. The bathrooms feature ETRO amenities, a bidet and the water pressure is excellent. My only complaint is that the pillows were pretty hard (like futon hard) so I ended up going to IKEA (15 mins away) to get a goose down pillow - problem solved. The hotel owners have opted to keep the main building as intact as possible which accounts for a lot of the hotel's charm. The lower common rooms feature Frescos that have not been restored and some may say that it looks dilapidated - however IMO opinion the beauty is to see them in their original form. Additionally, the owners chose to not utilize the first floor rather than maximize profits by restoring these beautiful rooms and turning them into guest rooms. The staff throughout the hotel is super polite and friendly. The first night we ate in the garden with a spectacular view of Rome and Frascatti. Again the service was tops the food was excellent and very enjoyable. Overall an excellent stay, we were originally thinking of moving to an adjacent hotel to try it out but ultimately chose to stay here because of the exceptional service. I will definitely come back here again, its less than 30 minutes to Rome by car and 15 to Ciampino. read more

Absolutely horrible. We were denied our booked room (booked 6 months prior) upon arrival after traveling from NY-Rome - Frascati. Exhausted upon arrival, we were told "No you cannot stay here, maybe tomorrow. There is a problem with the rooms". Which rooms? What problems? No answers, just told we would have to stay elsewhere. Guests staying at the hotel who heard of our troubles said there were absolutely no problems plus many from their party had left, with the rest freeing up the rest of their block of rooms the following day. When we arrived, four hours before check in time, the front desk manager told use he gave away the available rooms. Wait! You just told me all the rooms had problems, now it is just mine? Later on I checked backed on the status and spoke to Veronica who rudely told me to talk with her only when I requested to speak to the front desk manager. Funny --- When I asked for names and titles the next day, Veronica from the previous day (if that is really her name) told me "I'm nobody" - her words when asked for her name and title. She however told me that the problem was with my room specifically, no one else's. Strange, she checked in someone else earlier while I was there and when mentioned this I was told to check the website, we are totally booked. Well yeah, I'm one of the reservations that you booked and took my money. Each time I spoke with the front desk manager I received an evasive "I'm not sure if you will get in here, probably not". Veronica answered the same question with an unequivocal "No". No compassion for the weary traveler! Yes were we booked next door into a semi-operation facility. I have no idea what to call it. 1). We were the only people in this facility for the first two days. I kept thinking of "The shining" by Steven King!! No lights on when we came in, no one at the front desk, no lights on in our hallway until we were almost at our room then automatic lights came on! We hung out at the deserted top floor looking out towards Rome, again the only people there. Our own private hotel, which was a bit freaky. No restaurant, no bar, no pool, no people!! Let me backtrack on the no people. There is a daycare attached to the building, exactly below our room. We wake up daily to the screaming and crying of toddlers out on the playground. Just not what we paid for! Now, the new hotel's demographics have changed again! Today seems to be the first day of school, and our hotel actually is a private school!! We either hear the littles ones or the rambunctious teens!! This is not the vacation we dreamed of!! The Park Hotel Villa Grazioli is an event space; upon arrival there was an event in process; today another event started up. We were pushed aside to accommodate the event guests. DO NOT BELIEVE THEM. STAY FAR AWAY! They take the money and run!! And no, there was no discount given for our time and troubles. Just the standard blah blah blah lies. JUST STAY AWAY!! read more
