Villa Borghese, Rome
Italy not only has many of the greatest 16th and 17th century gardens in Europe, it also has some which have been extensively restored and indeed created in the 20th century. We visit two of these at Ninfa and La Landriana. Our tour will show you a wonderful selection of villas and gardens in the countryside around Rome as well as some in the city itself. We stay at the traditional 4* Park Hotel Villa Grazioli in Frascati, a charming town surrounded by vineyards which produce its eponymous wine, only 20 kilometres from Rome. Built in 1580 by Cardinal Carafa, the Villa Grazioli has vaulted ceilings and intricate 17th century frescoes.

Hotel Details
Park Hotel Villa Grazioli
Rome, Italy
The villa was built in 1580 by Cardinal Carafa who chose the site for its tranquillity and its wonderful views of the city. Much of the original decoration has been restored and the public rooms are spectacular, with vaulted ceilings and intricate frescoes. The highlight is a stunning gallery, painted from floor to ceiling by Pannini in 1736.
