Hotel Castel Gandolfo

The breakfast was lovely, with a great selection. The option to choose what you have was great and the fact they offered so many GF options was amazing! The staff were lovely and couldn’t do enough for you, they even allowed us to have our breakfast in the apartment. We were also able to leave our luggage before we travelled, which was handy with having that later flight. Location was fabulous, right near the mini square with a few shops and restaurants. We visited a local restaurant called Arte e Vino, based on a local recommendation and it was amazing. The setting, the food, the wine, its a must! We had an apartment, very spacious and had everything you would need, with the added bonus of a (roof) terrace, with stunning views over the lake. I’d like us, you’re looking for that authentic experience, in the small quaint streets, with a good and welcoming service, then this is the place for you!

The view of the lake is EXCEPTIONAL. But, the highlight for me was the employees who were beyond accommodating and kind. I am traveling with my 11 year old son, so the fact that the employees involved him in breakfast decisions and how he was doing every day was really nice. And, let's be real, the fake nice were not displayed by the employees here - every single person was kind and thoughtful because that's who they genuinely are as a person.

Room we paid for was not a lake view however we were on a side street which still had a window that overlooked the lake and just next-door was a small communal terrace with table and chairs again overlooking the lake. Breakfast is ordered the night before as they cook fresh pastries each morning. They also do hot food however don't expect a full english which is very rare in Italy anyways. The pear (pera) juice is really nice. The hotel is like a small boutique hotel and has a small breakfast room. There is also an attached restaurant which wasn't really open when we were staying due to the season being nearly over. Also it was windy the couple of days we stayed so the roof terrace was not open which was a little shame. You are right on the door step of the charming village of Castel Gandolfo and can stroll the streets around the hotel until late before retiring to bed. The palace gardens were wonderful. The lake itself is breathtaking however as mentioned quite windy down by the lake in mid October. All in all a lovely stay and the team at the hotel were really accommodating and helpful. The maintenance guy was a star and saved our bacon when there ended up being a transport strike on our last day! Grazie Mille

Stunning views from balcony. Excellent location right in the center of town. Staff very helpful and polite.

This is a charming little hotel with a fantastic location in the heart of the city center. We had a room with a beautiful view of Lake Albano and a small terrace.
