per chi ama il bello senza ostentazione
Pros:

La vista dalla finestra del lago di Castelgandolfo ricorda le immagini più iconiche del gran tour; la contemplazione del paesaggio in notturna vale il viaggio. Inoltre il paese è vicinissimo e raggiungibile facilmente a piedi

Cons:

Traumhafte Aussicht, nur leider wegen der Toilettensache für uns das erste und letzte Mal.
Pros:

Die Aussicht, Lage nahe dem Papstplast

Cons:

Der übergrosse, alte Schlüsselanhänger;
Es war nicht mehr möglich nach dem Auschecken kurz auf die Toilette zu gehen - angeblich wegen eines Schadens, aber im gesamten Hotel? Und es gab keinerlei Hinweise oder Warnungen, auch das daran gearbeitet wurde war nicht klar. Eine solche „Kleinigkeit“ ( die nicht klein ist wenn man wirklich dringend muss und kurz zuvor noch zahlender Gast war) trübt den eigentlich guten Gesamteindruck, schade.

A perfect location for a family celebration!
Pros:

The location was beautiful with stunning views across the lake. Always great to stay in a place with character celebrating the local culture and identity of the country. It was only a short walk to the town. The room was comfortable and well appointed.

Cons:

Memory foam pillows were rather hard but housekeeping happily changed for us.
