Un buon albergo ma attenzione alla scelta della camera
Pros:

Albergo situato in posizione tranquilla e dalle cui terrazze si gode una splendida vista sul lago.
Camera molto ampia e dotata di diversi generi di confort come il frigobar contenente due bottiglie d'acqua offerte dall'albergo.
Letto abbastanza comodo anche se non amo i materassi a molle e trovo molto più comodi quelli in lattice.
Bagno con buon box doccia.
La prima colazione era di qualità con offerta sia di parte salata che dolce.

Cons:

Purtroppo la camera, seppur spaziosa, aveva il grosso inconveniente di essere collocata al piano terra, a pochi metri da dove vengono parcheggiare le auto degli ospiti, per cui, ad ogni arrivo di auto in tarda serata, la sveglia era garantita.
Un 4 stelle dovrebbe avere oramai di default una macchina a cialde o capsule per il caffè in camera.

Pros:

Assolutamente la posizione, la vista sul lago di Albano che al tramonto è eccezionale, l ospitalità è professionalità dei dipendenti. Inoltre la tranquillità e il silenzio del posto.

Cons:

Una struttura del genere non può assolutamente avere in stanza delle televisioni assolutamente datate, fuori misura perché incredibilmente piccole e lontane dal letto.
Inoltre la colazione nonostante di assoluta qualità non può non avere una macchina per il caffè e il cappuccino all altezza. Ci è stato portato un cappuccino assolutamente inaccettabile per un amante del buon caffè

Pros:

Nn maakohas. Ilus vaade. Toas oli konditsioneer.

Cons:

Olime jala, seega omamoodi seiklus kohale jõudmiseks. Oleks olnud jahedam ilm poleks väga hullu olnudki. Aga hiljem nt ka järve äärde alla saamiseks võttis aega takso saamine jne, seal soovitaks autoga tulla.

Perfect option in a beautiful area near Fiumicino
Pros:

We chose La Locanda for our last night in Italy, due to its proximity to Fiumicino and the beautiful nearby lake and surroundings. We are very pleased with our choice and would definitely recommend the place!

The staff were very friendly and informative.
The hotel restaurant was great, with many options, all well executed and reasonably priced. This was our last dinner in Italy, and it was a perfect ending to our trip.

The room was beautiful, with two terraces, amazing lake views, and plenty of space.
Breakfast was overall nice.

Cons:

A couple of small points that could be improved: the indoor parking is quite pricey, and our attic room had a very challenging shower setup, which meant we had to shower sitting down.

Fresh eggs at breakfast would also be a great addition and, in our opinion, would better match the overall level of the hotel.

Pros:

Location e colazione vista sul lago pazzesca

Cons:

La stanza era vista parcheggio e non era la stanza che si presenteva sulle foto al momento della prenotazione, in più alle 7 e 30 di mattina c' era una signora del personale che si è messa a parlare a telefono proprio affianco la finestra della stanza, svegliandomi.
