Frascati is one of the Castelli Romani, historic hill towns to the South East of Rome. It is a small relaxed town perfect for a getaway from the metropolis of Rome. World famous for its (usually quite average) white wine, Frascati has a slower pace of life, cleaner air, and a far more casual feel than the nearby capital.

Get around

See

Do

• Take part in the passegiata in the evening: wandering up and down the main street, preferably with a gelato, checking out everyone else doing the same.

Buy

Eat

• Porchetta is a speciality of the region: whole spit roast pork. Many places around the town will have most of a pig sitting in a cabinet, usually served by carving a few slices and placing them between pieces of rustic white bread. Perhaps nothing could be a better match for a glass of Frascati.

Drink

• Frascati is famous for its white wine, and while the quality isn't renowned it certainly tastes better in its home town.
• A feature of Frascati is its Cantina, essentially places where you can buy and drink wine, and can bring your own food. During summer nights the Cantina put their tables outside on the paved roads and it seems like the whole town sits on these benches drinking, talking and laughing beneath the stars. On such nights it's easy to see why they choose to live in this small but vibrant town.

Sleep

• Hotel Pinocchio, Piazza del Mercato 21, +39 06 941 7883 (fax +39 06 941 7884). Located above the Pinocchi restaurant, this small hotel has just seven rooms, all with bath, phone, tv, and minibar. Centrally located, friendly, and good value. No air-conditioning can make the rooms less comfortable on a warm night (although you can always just leave the windows open). €45/70/90 (single/double/triple). http://www.hotelpinocchio.it/
• Villa Tuscolana, Via del Tuscolo, +39 06 942 900. A fabulous old villa recently refurbished, Villa Tuscolana is well worth the 10min walk up the hill from Frascati. Take a room with views out over the town and Rome if possible. The walk up the hill can be dark and scary at night, take a taxi if you've had a little too much vino. € 95/140/180 (single/single superior/double). http://www.villatuscolana.it
