Location

Frascati, is 10 miles from Rome, and is easily reachable by public transport: COTRAL buses run frequently from Anagnina metro station and a local train from Rome, which leaves from Termini Station.
In Frascati the air is noticeably fresher than in Rome and in the sweltering summer months it has always been a popular resort.

• Villa Aldobrandini: this palace dominates the town, overlooking the central piazza in faded splendour. On a weekdays the gardens are open to the public and are free to visit.
• The Villa Torlonia: nowadays it is a public park. You can still admire the gardens, and an impressive fountain, the Teatro delle Acque (water theatre), designed by Carlo Maderno.
