Castel Gandolfo is situated 25 km south
of Rome and faces the vulcanic homonymous 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.
