Nice location
Beautiful area overlooking lake Albano, and hotel has many things going for it. Not a place to be if you don't have a car. I wish I'd known the restaurant was closed the night I went. Empty when I was there, and dark - I tripped and fell trying to find the (timed) light switch in the dark hallway in the evening. Staff was friendly, but you need to speak Italian.

Great place!
Great Hotel overlooking the lake! Can understand why the Pope spends his summers in the region. The only downside to the hotel was the shower head being extremely low (chest height) and that the water leaked over the floor. Other than that it was an excellent experience and lovely people at the hotel!

Struttura bellissima con affaccio sul lago, stanza molto bella, arredata in stile moderno con ogni comfort. Ottima colazione dolce e salata. E' presente posto auto gratuito. Personale cortese e disponibile. Unica pecca non ho amato il materasso poco rigido per il resto molto consigliato.
