Villa Vecchia  

Set on the green outskirts of Frascati in Monte Porzio Catone, about 4 km from Frascati Cathedral and roughly 25 km from central Rome. This 4-star historic monastery-hotel on Via Frascati 49 is a family-friendly base for Rome day trips.

Housed in a historical monastery with 96 rooms, Villa Vecchia sits inside a large park with some 500 olive groves. Rooms offer air conditioning, satellite TV, mini bar, balconies or terraces and garden views; safety box and wireless internet are available for an extra charge.

Relax in the outdoor swimming pool set among the olive groves, stroll the gardens or let kids play on the playground. On-site conveniences include a restaurant and bar, 24-hour reception, room service and parking—wake up to olive-grove mornings.

Conference facilities and a business centre with meeting rooms make it suitable for events and corporate stays. Wireless internet access is available for a fee and on-site parking helps with larger groups.

Il Vignola restaurant serves traditional Italian cuisine and the hotel bar is handy for pre- or post-dinner drinks.
