Villa Grazioli was built in the 16th century by Cardinal Grazioli Lante della Rovere. It is situated on a hill of Frascati overlooking the ancient city of Rome, the sea and Tivoli. The Villa is a masterpiece of the 16th century art, history and culture, filled with magnificent works of art painted by Italian masters like Ciampelli, Carracci and Pannini. Today is a luxury Hotel. Enjoy.

It seems a bit sad that this beautiful place is being used as a hotel but at least it is being used. And you have presented it so magnificently. Good work.

A lovely piece of architecture and so well captured! Good composition too between the two trees. Being used as a hotel is not so nice but I can imagine what the cost of maintenance will be.

If you reserve the penthouse suite, do you get access to the roof, Ed? Imagine the photos of Rome's skyline you could get from up there! As usual, Ed, another great addition to your gallery.
