Frascati

At 1,280 feet above sea level, the beautiful hill town of Frascati is roughly 13 miles from Rome. It features gorgeous 16th century villas such as Villa Aldobrandini which includes gardens, grottoes, and fountains, as well as vineyards that produce some of the best wine in Italy. Most of the wine is served in Rome's restaurants and it is exported as well. Another Frascati highlight is Villa Torlonia and its Theater of Fountains. To get to Frascati, take a Cotral bus (any one) leaving from the Anagina stop of Metro Line A. The Metro runs about every 7-10 minutes, from 5:30 a.m. until 11:30 p.m. everyday, except Saturday when it runs until 12:30 a.m.
