Villa Grazioli

Villa Grazioli is a Renaissance building in Frascati that sits on Tusculum hill with views extending toward Rome and the surrounding hills. The estate has numerous rooms decorated with detailed frescoes and manicured gardens that shape the grounds.

The building began in 1580 as a cardinal's residence and underwent changes over centuries while keeping its Renaissance design intact. These modifications reflect the shifting needs and tastes of its various residents.

The rooms display frescoes that reflect the artistic traditions of Italian noble residences from the 16th century. These wall paintings are visible throughout and shape how the interior spaces look and feel.

The estate sits on hillside grounds with manicured gardens and offers rooms and dining facilities on the property. The location allows visitors to walk through the gardens and building areas, though the terrain can make some paths challenging.

The estate is surrounded by its own park that acts as a natural sound barrier and creates a quiet environment. This green buffer allows visitors to forget the proximity to Rome and fully immerse themselves in the setting.
