Museum location w View!

This beautiful hotel was quite the find walking distance to museums and gardens. Great service; incredible breakfast overlooking the lake. Room was plain however the bed was very comfortable. Pool available. If driving car you have to maneuver into parking lot up ramp but once in you will get the hang of it!

The room was great. It was in the medieval part of town in an old building with the original walls and structure, although updated and clean. The host, Carlo, was very nice and helpful. Breakfast the next day was very good, and we enjoyed our stay there very much and I would recommend a stay there to anyone visiting the area for a wonderful experience.

Felt like you were staying in a palace. Staff were helpful in allowing us to change to a room with newer air con. Hotel is gradually under going renovations. Our first room had a really flash new bathroom. Breakfast was great. View over the lake was lovely and roof top pool nice.

Out of season stay

We visited out of season as an overnight stop before heading to the airport to go home. The Hotel is in a beautiful location and the staff were all very friendly. We had no issues with noise and the room was clean and comfortable. As we visited out of season (start of April) things were little run down, the swimming pool was quite dirty. I'm sure this wouldn't be an issue in summer. The restaurant/bar was also out of service but this didn't matter as there are lots of restaurants and cafes a short walk away.

Not a 4 star hotel. Staff was friendly and usually helpful. Lake view is amazing. Room was large, clean and quiet. Breakfast was good but same everyday. Special thanks to egg-men. Really good eggs&bacon. Pool outside was bit trashy but ok anyway. Air condition works fine but freezer was broken. We said that 3 times but no fix. Why not just replace it? I put beers on floor to get them little bit cold. No restaurant. Town nearby (0,5km) was nice, good restaurants and shops. Btw, its not 10min walk to Castel Gandolfo trainstation, it is 20min because Via del lago is closed. Honestly, I can't recommend this hotel with that price.

Fantastisk hotell med magisk utsikt över sjön.

Ett fantastiskt hotell cirka 45 minuter ifrån centrala Rom. Vill man slippa hetsen i stan är detta ett perfekt hotell. Servicen och hotellet var 10/10. Lite äldre rum vilket var okej med tanke på att man vill ha den italiska känslan. Vi spenderade våra dagar i den närliggande byn och hängde vid hotellets pool som vi dessutom hade för oss själva varje dag. På kvällen tog vi taxi in till Rom för middag och sevärdheter. Vill man in till Rom varje kväll får man räkna med cirka 200 euro fram och tillbaka per dag. Så det blir en del. Men detta hotellet är ett självklart val för nästa gången vi reser till Rom.

Ce n'est pas un 4 étoiles

Très beau cadre avec chambre vue sur le lac. Cependant l'hôtel ne correspond pas du tout à un hôtel 4 étoiles à mon avis. Certaines parties de l'hôtel très vieillos, petit déjeuner moyen, certains membres du personnel pas très accueillant. Pas de restaurant. Départ prévu à 11h, on a demandé à rester juste quelques minutes supplémentaires, mais on nous clairement dit que c'était pas possible. Alors qu'il n'y avait personne qui attendait. Manque quelques détails dans la chambre. Bref très beau cadre et magnifique vue sur le lac mais clairement pas un hôtel 4 étoiles

“Very good location, just a few minutes from Termini. Everything was nice and clean. The only thing we didn’t enjoy was the chemical scent in the room, probably coming from the sheets or towels, but we weren’t sure about the source. We only stayed for just one night, though, so it wasn’t a big deal. :)

When we checked in late afternoon, our room was not ready and we had to return to the reception desk and request another. The pool had only one seating area which made it very inhospitable unless you were with the people using two of the three seating options. There were no towels provided. The restaurant was closed, but there was a very limited breakfast. Th location is beautiful and one would hope a bit more of a congenial atmosphere would make this hotel stellar. But one did not feel welcome as it sat in a gorgeous location but with somewhat taciturn staff.

Quaint location and very walkable. The views are spectacular from the hotel. The front desk staff were friendly and helpful. The breakfast could have been better. Would have loved for the scrambled eggs to be hot (they seemed to come straight from the refrigerator) and some more options, like yogurt. The air conditioning was working at full capacity but never got below 25 Celsius so it was a bit hot for sleeping.
