Villa Tuscolana is a 16th-century residence turned into a 4-star hotel, perched on the hill overlooking Frascati, just outside Rome. The property retains the charm of the old noble residences while combining it with services designed for leisure stays and events: meeting rooms and banquet spaces that can host from 20 to 220 people.
The rooms, spread across several categories from Classic to Executive Suite, share a private bathroom, flat-screen TV, minibar and safe; some stand out for their garden or city views, others for a private terrace or a hot tub. Suitable for both couples and families, thanks to the availability of family rooms and quadruple rooms.
On the ground floor, La Rufinella restaurant offers an à la carte menu from Tuesday to Saturday with creative fish dishes and traditional recipes, while a buffet breakfast opens every day. Private parking is free and the reception remains active 24 hours a day. Rome Ciampino Airport is just 8 km away, convenient for those arriving from outside the region.
Villa Tuscolana’s accommodation offering includes ten different room types, from the 12 sqm Single Classic to the Executive Suite with separate living area and hot tub. All accommodations feature a private bathroom, flat-screen TV, minibar, wardrobe and safe, elements that guarantee a consistent level of comfort regardless of the category chosen. Most rooms are also equipped with air conditioning, a detail not to be taken for granted in a historic residence like this one.
What makes the difference are the room sizes, ranging from 12 to 30 sqm, and the views: some rooms overlook the garden, others the town of Frascati, while the higher suites add a private terrace and a hot tub. Solutions for families or small groups, such as the Quadruple Deluxe and the Quadruple Superior, offer flexible bed configurations between double and single beds, while the Junior Suite introduces parquet flooring for a more elegant touch.
Among the standard double rooms, the Deluxe stands out for the view over the town of Frascati that can be enjoyed from the window. Equipped with air conditioning and a minibar, it offers the flexibility to choose between a double bed or two single beds, with no option to add extra beds.
Designed for small groups or families with one child, this triple room accommodates up to three people with alternative bed configurations. The private bathroom comes complete with a bidet and toiletries, while air conditioning makes it comfortable even in the hottest months.
At 30 sqm, the Junior Suite is among the largest accommodations in the property. A separate bedroom, parquet flooring and a bathroom with shower make it a more refined choice compared to the classic rooms, while still including a minibar and safe.
The most compact of Villa Tuscolana’s rooms, ideal for solo travelers on business or leisure. Despite its small size, it features a private bathroom complete with a bidet and toiletries, as well as a minibar and safe.
The basic version of the property’s double rooms, with tiled flooring and no particular view. The private bathroom comes complete with a shower, bidet and toiletries, while the bed configuration can be chosen between a double bed or two single beds.
With the same size as the Classic, this room adds a garden view, a detail that makes it preferable for those looking for a greener outlook during their stay. A private bathroom with shower and toiletries complete the offering.
Larger than the Classic and the version with a view, the Superior offers 18 sqm, air conditioning and a garden outlook. An intermediate choice for those who want more space without going all the way to the suite category.
Designed for families or groups of four, this quadruple room stands out for its bathroom with a bathtub instead of a simple shower. Air conditioning and a minibar complete a practical accommodation for those traveling together.
Villa Tuscolana offers services designed for both leisure stays and events or ceremonies. The in-house restaurant La Rufinella offers an à la carte menu with fish dishes and traditional recipes, alongside a bar, snack bar and in-room minibar; menus for special diets and wine or champagne are also available on request. Private parking is free, a benefit not to be taken for granted for those arriving by car from Rome or nearby airports.
The property features a garden, spaces for meetings and banquets for up to 220 people, concierge service and 24-hour reception. The rooms are equipped with air conditioning, a safe, flat-screen TV and internet connection, while the bathrooms offer a complete set of toiletries, a hairdryer and a bathtub or shower.
Accessibility services are also available, such as rooms for guests with disabilities, wheelchair access and an elevator to the upper floors, in addition to luggage storage and a smoke alarm for guests’ safety.
Villa Tuscolana is located on the hill overlooking Frascati, in the countryside of the Castelli Romani, in a secluded position compared to the town centre but easily accessible. The setting is typical of the area’s old noble villas, surrounded by gardens and vineyards, a few minutes from the historic centre with its wine cellars and viewpoints over the Roman plain.
Frascati’s railway station is about 1.3 km away, while the centre with restaurants and bars such as L’Insolito and Flanagan’s Pub is less than 900 metres away. Rome Ciampino Airport, the closest one, is 7-8 km away, and Fiumicino is about 34 km away: a convenient position both for those arriving by car from Rome and for those landing directly in the area. Villa Torlonia, with its historic park, is just over 1 km away.
Those staying in Frascati can spend their days visiting the Tuscolan villas and local wine cellars to taste the area’s famous white DOC wine, or venture towards the nearby Castelli Romani towns such as Grottaferrata, a few minutes away by car. For families, Parco Gramsci at 2.2 km and the Grottaferrata Adventure Park offer green spaces and outdoor activities, particularly enjoyable in the spring and summer months. In winter, the proximity to Rome makes the property a convenient base for guided tours of the capital as well.
