Set in 120 acres of vineyard and olive trees, the hotel is located in a panoramic position near Frascati, in an area with a history dating back to 496 A.D.
On the former site of Lake Regillo, where the Roman army won a famous battle with the help of Jupiter?s twin sons, the estate eventually became the property of the Pope and then of Prince Borghese?s family in 1714.
Today, the estate is owned by the hospitable Giulini family, and has been renovated into a farm hotel, with 12 rooms, a restaurant, a large garden and an ample swimming pool; the ideal base for a memorable holiday in Rome.
During your stay on the estate you can sample some locally made white and red wines, as well as extra virgin olive oil.
The architecture of the estate?s cellar, dating from 1892, is in perfect harmony with the landscape. It is composed of several galleries, running through 400 meters of hollowed-out turf at a depth of 10 meters. In the galleries, some niches originally held 120 wine butts; 10 quintals each. A careful refurbishing has integrally restored the cellar, nowadays dedicated to visits and tasting.
In the middle of the estate, besides the ruins of the Roman Empire walls, there is, hidden in the green, a grotto with a natural spring of fresh water.
