Pros:

Colazione abbondante e variegata. C'era di tutto dal dolce al salato. Posizione stupenda sulle coline che si affacciano al lago.

carino
Pros:

La struttura si posiziona in una zona verde della provincia di Roma, denominata Castelli Romani, l'hotel ha una vista pazzesca sul borgo di Castel Gandolfo, residenza estiva del Papa e si affaccia sul lago Albano di origine vulcanica, la struttura è ben distribuita, la colazione è ottima e gli ambienti eleganti

Cons:

Da rilevare che la struttura ha qualche anno, la rubinetteria è visibilmente usata, come lo specchio, i segni sui muri, o la tappezzeria del divano macchiata, con qualche lavoro di manutenzione la struttura sarebbe decisamente valorizzata

Pros:

Die Aussicht war herausragend schön. Der Blick auf den See und die umliegenden Dörfer.
Das Frühstück war sehr vielfältig.

Cons:

Kein Kleiderschrank und nur 2 Bügel für 2 Personen. Wir waren 4 Nächte dort und mussten aus den Koffern leben, für die eigentlich in dem Zimmer kein Platz war
