Overlooking the sapphire blue and emerald green waters of Lake Albano, this stunning complex is a great escape from the hustle and bustle of Rome.
Pope Urban VIII ordered the construction of a country home here. The views across the lake and of the surrounding hills are spectacular. Just recently Pope Francis opened a huge portion of these premises to the public.
Enjoy the visit in the Papal Gardens by an ecological open minibus. The audioguide will fill your ears with some high-quality papal trivia as you're being driven around. Find out which pontiff installed a swimming pool, and which one laid low in Castel Gandolfo for months after handing in his resignation.
Enrich your experience by adding the option of visiting the Astronomical Domes of the Papal Palace. Choose a particular combo and enjoy the complete and niche visit.
Enhance your experience with a visit to the Papal Villas by minibus and a delicious porchetta sandwich and glass of wine in Castel Gandolfo.
