Bellavista

I stayed at the Bellavista with my wife and a couple of friends during the Mayday weekend. A superb family run business, spotlessly clean great views and very helpful staff. A generous breakfast was available every morning until 10.00a.m. I would recommend this to any travellers. The rail station is just a short walk from the hotel with regular trains into Rome, on weekdays every 30 minsa little sparodic at weekends. Frascati is typically Italian with a host of restaurants/bars and at a fraction of the price of downtown Rome.The market is excellent the locals very friendly and weloming. Highly recommended

We stayed in this hotel as part of a travel group. I was sad it wasn't actually in Rome, but it was so far and above all the other hotels we had stayed in, I didn't even care. The room was giant, the bathroom, was decent, the windows had rolling shutters so it was pitch black at night and there were two air conditioners. This American appreciated that very much. The staff was AMAZING! There were water vending machines as they said not to drink from sinks. It was clean and adorable. You need to have a car to stay here, however. There is not a bus that goes here and a taxi into Rome would be pricey. A few people have mentioned that it's in a bad neighborhood, and there were some run-n places, but I have seen much worse. I travelled with students and I felt confident walking through the neighborhood to th restaurant and store down the hill.

I found this hotel on booking.com and it looked very nice so I booked it for one night. We got into Rome late at night around 11:30 pm. I should note that we were driving our vehicle and that this hotel is actually note in Rome but a good 30 minute drive outside of Rome. Anyways, we get off the exit and were looking for this hotel at night....good luck. The signs were hard to spot and we drove up the road where we thought it was only to find ourselves in a not so nice neighborhood. After about 45 minutes of driving around we finally found a guy who had a idea of where the hotel was. Its at the very top of the hill, Its surrounded by a large wall almost like a compound. When we pulled up tot he hotel we couldnt believe it. It looks stunning at night because all the lights are on and everything is clean and white. Overall, the hotel, rooms, and grounds were very nice. I just wasnt too excited about the surrounding area.
