Week end fuori porta rilassante
Pros:

Posizione ottima per visitare Castel Gandolfo, centro storico raggiungibile a piedi. Bellissima sala colazione con grandi finestre che si affacciano sul lago.
Camere pulite, materassi e cuscini estremamente comodi

Cons:

L'ingresso è in salita: trattandosi di una villa storica già esistente, è stato mantenuto l'accesso originale, ed è di ciottoli abbastanza scivolosi se piove, come ho potuto constatare di persona. In quel caso meglio fare attenzione. Ci sono però dei corrimano lungo la discesa molto utili.

נחמד מאוד
Pros:

יש המון מקומות חנייה בחינם- מה שממש לא מובן מאליו באיטליה. המלון על אגם יפיפה, קיבלנו חדר עם נוף לאגם. הצוות מאוד נחמד ונעים. יש ארוחת בוקר נחמדה מאוד. המלון במבנה היסטורי, מאוד יפה. חדר האוכל מהמם עם נוף לאגם.

Cons:

כדאי קצת לשפר את החדר, שיהיה יותר מודרני מבחינת המתקנים שלו אבל עדיין לשמור על האופי העתיק וההיסטורי. למשל- טלוויזיה גדולה יותר (כל הערוצים היו באיטלקית) היה נחמד אם היה נטפליקס או אפשרות לחבר usb. בנוסף המזגן היה מכוון רק על חימום מבלי אפשרות לשנות.

Luoghi imperdibili e inaspettati da visitare
Pros:

La posizione, a picco sul lago, ci ha dato la possibilità di goderne la vista mutevole in tutte le ore della giornata. La camera con vista sul lago era elegantemente arredata e silenziosissima.
L'intero albergo, allocato in un'antica dimora, era elegante e offriva la possibilità di godere di panorami formidabili dai molteplici terrazzi, con piscina sul tetto, che d'estate offre una visita a 360 gradi. Ottima la colazione,dolce e salata e gentilissimo il personale.
La proprietaria ci ha fornito delucidazioni sui luoghi da visitare nei dintorni con grande competenza e dettagli storici accattivanti.
Ci torneremo sicuramente.

Bellissima struttura sul lago Albano!
Pros:

Posizione della struttura incantevole. La vista lago, nonostante il tempo uggioso, é davvero suggestiva. Camera e bagno di grandi dimensioni, pulizia ottima. Personale molto gentile.
Visto il periodo e i pochi clienti dell’albero la colazione non era a buffet, ma, nonostante questo, é stata ricca e buona con ampia scelta di richieste.
Ristorante Gardenia a pochi minuti di macchina consigliatissimo!!!

Cons:

I due materassi singoli nel letto matrimoniale!

Good for a short stay in a relaxed environment with magnificent views.
Pros:

Great location over the lake. Beautiful decor, a very good varied breakfast, courteous staff and easy parking.

Cons:

No kettle or tea/coffee in room. Radiator heating in room is with a timer for a short time so room felt quite cold. Alternative AC did not warm room sufficiently.
