Bed & Breakfast VillaGiò - Places Of Interest



Frascati is the first town in the Castelli Romani. The latter have a history dating back even before the founding of Rome. The landscapes are very diversified: fertile hills occupied by vineyards and olive groves, mountain areas covered with dense forests of chestnut, grassland, lakes, meadows and pastures, without numerous archaeological evidence of civilization, starting from the Latins, that lived in these area. In Frascati there is a wide range of historical, cultural and artistic places to visit. Among these are the Seventeenth-Century Villas and Baroque: Aldobrandini, Borghese, Falconieri, Lancellotti and Mondragone. The Cathedral of St. Peter's Square, the archaeological sites of the ruins of Tusculum.
