Castel Gandolfo is situated 25 km
south of Rome and faces the vulcanic homonimous Lake . Since 1597 this
has been the Pope's summer residence and the gardens of the papal palace
contain the ruins of Domiziano's roman villa. In the small town there is
a beautiful square with the San Tommaso of Villanova Church and a fountain,
both designed by Bernini. The Hotel Castelgandolfo is only few metres from
the papal palace, and from its rooms which face the lake it is possible
to appreciate a view of rare beauty. The storical centre with its tipical
streets reserved to pedestrians give the hotel a wonderful atmosphere of
serenity.
