Hotel Castelgandolfo  

Perched in the heart of Castel Gandolfo, steps from the Papal Palace and a short drive from Lake Albano. Close enough for day trips to Rome’s big sights — Capitoline Hill, the Colosseum and the Roman Forum — while staying in a quieter, Mediterranean town.

A compact Mediterranean hotel with just 21 rooms and a rooftop terrace that frames the town and lake. Rooms come with private bathrooms, rainfall showerheads and complimentary toiletries. Expect simple, local touches, a hair salon on-site and banquet spaces for small events.

Rooftop terrace with views, a bar/lounge and an on-site restaurant. Start your day with a complimentary buffet breakfast served daily from 7:30–9:30. There’s a massage room and solarium for downtime, concierge and tour assistance to book local excursions, plus limo/town car and roundtrip airport shuttle service (surcharge).

Complimentary wireless internet throughout the property, 24-hour front desk, concierge and luggage storage. Elevator access and multilingual staff make business travel easier.

An on-site restaurant and a relaxed bar/lounge serve meals and evening drinks. Room service is available during limited hours, and the daily buffet breakfast gets you out the door for Rome or the lake.
