felice soggiorno
Pros:

ottima posizione per visitare Caste Gandolfo /Marino/Nemi...
Posto molto tranquillo.
Buona colazione con vista sul Lago spettacolare.

Cons:

Camera molto ampia , ma un po' buia. Forse anche il colore nero su parti della stanza, la rende meno luminosa
Ottima l'idea del piccolo cuoci vivande . Ma la piastra ad induzione nn funzionava . E comunque la piccola cucinetta , nn è attrezzata con stoviglie , per poterne usufruire. Peccato , perchè all'esterno c'è un bel tavolo in legno , comodo .

מלון באזור יפה
Pros:

המלון יפה חלק מהחדרים רואים קצת אגם נקי ונעים

Cons:

יש מדרגות להגיע לחדרים חלקם בלי נוף לאדם והחדר הראשון שקיבלנו היה בלי חימום ..לא אהבתי שגובים על חנייה שהמלון ריק ושאין גמישות בעזיבה מאוחרת וגובים על כל שעה נוספת

Splendida vacanza in una villa meravigliosa
Pros:

Un posto splendido, dove già siamo tornati una seconda volta, sulla riva del lago di Albano (Castel Gandolfo).
Le camere (più che camere sono mini appartamenti) sono bellissime, arredate con gusto e dotate di ogni comfort. La pulizia è impeccabile. Ottima la colazione, servita in una sala chiusa da vetrate con vista sul lago. Il personale è gentile e professionale. Un saluto al Sig Paolo che ci accoglie sempre con cordialità.
Speriamo di tornare presto.

Cons:

La vacanza troppo breve
