I had a wonderful stay at this charming hotel by the lake. The view was absolutely stunning — perfect for relaxing and soaking in nature. The area is quiet and calm, ideal for anyone looking to unwind. My room was very comfortable, making it easy to rest after a long day. What truly stood out was the staff: incredibly kind, attentive, and always ready to help with a smile.

Free breakfast was amazing. Mini bar prices were a bit steep but I should have checked beforehand.

This place is more of a wedding venue than a hotel, so be warned it may be pretty loud during your stay.

Parking was fine most nights except for one where the lot was full but the owner was able to accommodate and find a spot for the car.

Free breakfast was amazing, and the views were fantastic. Staff was pleasant and helpful.

Staff was not very attentive. They acted like we were an inconvenience. The handle of our hotel room door came off in our hand twice before they moved us to a smaller room. They had an event at the hotel the evening that we stayed there with a live band located about 100 ft from our room that played until 12:20am with crowds continuing to disperse until 2am outside our room in the parking area 20 ft from our room. We were travelling so needed sleep & this loud stay should have been disclosed to us beforehand with the option to cancel. When mentioned to the staff the next morning they acted like it was no big deal. Very disappointed. Worst stay while in Italy!

Fabulous View, Friendly Owner, Great Hotel

This is a wonderful little hotel overlooking the lake. Our room was small but lovely and the bed very comfortable. Unfortunately, they were having their kitchen redone so the front entrance, lobby, bar and dining room were closed. Luckily, they had recently built a glass enclosed banquet room which overlooks the lake. We had our wonderful breakfasts there and could sit there for cocktails or coffee. Giorgio, the owner, is delightful. He was quite friendly and very accommodating. This is definitely a destination you don’t want to miss.

Beautiful setting right on the lake. The room we had the toilet leaked and it had not be cleaned properly as there was pubic hairs .The shower head needed cleaning and descaling we had to clean it to be able to shower and it was not in a good condition and needs repairs. The bed was so uncomfortable . The windows needed cleaning. Thankfully we only stayed one night.

Beautiful place to stay

The owners picked us up and dropped us off at the train station free of charged. The place itself has stunning views of the lake. The house itself has thin walls, so you hear everything, but the grounds are the real selling point. Plus, the three cats that play in the yard are incredibly friendly. Breakfast was excellent and served next to the water.

A real Charmer

What a little charmer at then end of a country like road. The hotel setting by the lake looked fantastic after our drive . The decor was a little tired but It was very comfortable, the room quite large with a lovely view down onto the garden & over the lake. The Manager & staff were extremely helpful & made sure our stay went well. The cooked breakfast the next morning was great. We just had the overnight stay, but would have loved to stay longer & explore the lake and surrounding area. As we were the only guests, the restaurant was not open for dinner , but we were directed just down the road where there is a good selection of places to eat.

Fantastic location and very accomadating staff

We went here for our honeymoon, and the location is amazing. A short walk away there are places to sunbathe and swim, but we didn't bother because the hotel itself had the best view and the most amazing place to swim. The staff were very nice and couldn't do enough for you. I'll miss having breakfast on their patio looking out over the late. The breakfast is simple and high quality - just what we wanted. You can get lunch/dinner at a good price in one of the many restaurants in walking distance. I couldn't recommend this place highly enough. 5 stars all the way.

Wonderful Views

The hotel is right on Lago Albano, with stunning views of Castel Gandalfo across the lake. The room we had was cosy and comfortable. The breakfast was pleasant, and hotel staff were very friendly. The hotel grounds in Spring were lovely. You would need a car, though, since the hotel is some distance from the town. Would stay here again when we come back to Castel Gandalfo.

A peaceful interlude so close to Rome

We stayed here on the last night of our European holiday as it was within half an hour of Rome International Airport. It was a wonderful surprise to find that not only was the hotel very comfortable but the location was stunning. Our corner room with balcony (Room No. 1) overlooked the beautiful hotel garden and lake. That evening we had a wide choice of family style restaurants around the lake and the next morning a lovely breakfast which was included in the rate was served in the garden beside the lake.

Calm Hotel with wonderful view of Lago Albano

Very nice and calm hotel with friendly service.
The view of the lake from the breakfast terrace is astonishing with wines and flowers in the foreground and Castel Gandolfo in the background.
After a 2 hour walk around the lake it felt very nice to take a swim in the lake (There is a staircase from the hotel), and then to relax and with a good book in the shadow of the trees.
