The owners of the hotel and all of the staff I saw daily were the most welcoming and hospitable I had ever met and I travel a lot! My room, 2 floor suite with a terrace balcony on the second floor overlooking lake Albano, was spotless, and the view breathtaking and so peaceful to look at. Coffee was available in the lobby at your leisure and bottled water was complimentary, left in your mini fridge. There were so many amazing restaurants available just around the corner, steps away, either with a view of the lake or along the main shopping area. The owners were kind enough to give me a lift to the closest train station in Ciampino, since the train station in Castel Gondolfo was temporarily closed for repair. I appreciated that so much as I didn’t have to figure out how to catch the bus and wait outside in the hot street. This hotel is a perfect base for sight seeing other small towns or Rome without the crowds of a big city. If you are going, book this hotel. A beautiful experience!
