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. 9/10

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.

Excellent location
Excellent location, stunning views of the lake, pleasantly peaceful and tranquil compared to the frantic hustle and bustle of central Rome. A great place to stay for a long weekend. A short 15 to 20 minute taxi ride from ciampino or 40 mins from Fumancino.

This is truly a hidden gem and well appreciated after staying in other locations with many tourists. The dining nearby was excellent. The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful. I would strongly recommend if you have time before or after a flight into Rome vs. staying in the city.

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.

Quiet and relaxing place with beautiful lake.
The Hotel is old but cozy and peaceful. The staff are very nice. The hotel is set in a quiet place on the lake with beautiful terraces that take advantage of location and views. It’s a magical and beautiful spot! We are couple and we looked for a quiet place to relax and this was perfect for us. We had a great time just relaxing in this hotel.

A lovely super rest at this hotel. The owner and his son Giordano and their staff were absolutely fantastic, especially when it was one of the hottest days in Rome at 41c ! Castel Gandolfo and the Lake are a superb destination to the Culla del Lago, (The cradle of the lake)
