beautifil villa with frescoes and paintings..very relaxing just 20 mins from city center (not during rush hours). Beautiful view and relaxing atmosphere...the perfect place for a hideaway. The restaurant and the other services of the property are noteworthy.

The hotel is an odd mix of unbelievably wonderful, and really quite oddly bad.

The good points are the building which is extraordinarily beautiful, and the staff who are magnificent and go far beyond what might be expected of them. The swimming pool is surrounded by lawns and has marvellous views over Rome. Cannot complement them enough on these aspects.

However, in our room the air conditioning didn't work and no one seemed able to fix it, There was something really strange with the bath in that it appeared to be one bath placed within another and consequently the plug didn't work ( can't even begin to explain it!). The rooms were also quite small.

I feel dreadful making these negative points as the positives were so strong, and if they could only sort these out they would have one of the worlds great hotels.

My Wife and I recently got married in Frascati and stayed at Villa Grazioli for a week, first to prepare and then to relax. We invited 80 guests to the wedding from across the world, with the vast majority staying at the hotel. We have just returned to the UK and most of our guests have said that it is the best wedding they have ever been too and this is primarily because of the service provided by Riccardo and his team. They even allowed us access to the pool out of season, to accommodate us.

The Villa itself is beautiful and when combined with great service and a wonderful city on your doorstep you cannot go wrong. There are spectacular views over Rome, especially at Sunset or when lit up against the night sky.

Thanks to all at the Hotel for making our stay so special, we will never forget it.

PS. If you are thinking of getting married, ask the hotel for Daniella (our wedding planner) who was amazing and arranged everything perfectly with the minimum of fuss.

There is no doubt that the Park Hotel Villa Grazioli is a wonderful building in a wonderful setting which has beautiful views over Rome. There are however a few rough edges which, if rectified, would make this hotel the place it should be; the dining room is in the cellar and is pretty dreary - when we were there the lights kept going on and off!, you have to pay for the broadband in your room and everything feels like it needs a lick of paint and a bit of tlc.... The service was pretty good and the bar and restaurant staff were helpful and friendly. The reception staff on the other hand weren't so good and we had a few problems booking taxis etc. The pool area is relaxing although the food by the pool is limited. Even with the rough edges we did have a good stay although i would need to be convinced there has been a few improvements for me to part with my euros next time!
