Some of the small towns surrounding Rome can be nice to visit if you have the time and can get around by car. Frascati is one of these as it's just to the SE of Rome and within a half hour drive away. A sleepy town with a a truly Italian atmosphere, an almost abandoned and rundown park, a couple of mansions and a little art museum so you'll easily spend a few hours there. Or you can just enjoy an ice cream at the local piazza enjoying the view of the church of San Pietro.
