Castelvecchio - CASTEL GANDOLFO

If you want to load up at breakfast on carbs, this is your choice. Breads, rolls, coffee cakes galore. A cold egg frittata with little taste is offered and sliced ham, salami and rolled cheese.

My wife and I were staying at the hotel. Rather than hike back to town, we decided to eat at the hotel. Despite not having reservations, than managed to find us a table. The wind blowing through the open window was cool and refreshing. The waiter spoke Italian. As a guest in his country, I tried but am not very good at Italian. When I faltered, he politely helped. When I failed completely, he switched to fluent English. The food was fabulous. All dishes from both my wife and I were perfect. My sea bass was absolutely amazing. My wife couldn’t decide between two desserts, so they brought one of each. The service was far, far above average. The decor lives up to the title of “Castel.” The ambiance was exactly what one travels to Italy to have. Would highly recommend it, despite the significant hike from the train station!

We were staying at the hotel so decided to have dinner here the first night. It is sort of nouvelle cuisine Italian style. The portions are not big but all of the food is really delicious and plenty if you are having three courses. The service is excellent especially the delightful and charming maitre D who advised my husband over the grappa selection about which she was passionate. The puddings were truly out of this world, a white and dark chocolate combination which we can't remember the name of and a tiramisu mouse which were both outstanding. Wine and food were reasonably priced and the dining room is really elegant with fabulous views over the lake.

I stayed at this hotel for a job, with a staff busy with colleagues. the location is lovely, at the slopes of the hills of castel gandolfo. the structure is very well, with a monumental exterior appearance and a beautiful view of the lake. common areas are vintage, but I have to say extremely well maintained and retro look does not bother me at all. rooms unfortunately need a small negative note good cleaning, but the furnishings are particularly dated and the cramped spaces, especially on the basement floor (some rooms are in fact arranged on the floor and a soundproofing not enough. in particular, bathroom accessories definitely need a review, starting from the showers. a note of applause for the staff, very efficient and really courteous, which contributed little to make the visit pleasant.

I spent a great day celebrating my wedding anniversary. excellent location with lake view, panorama and dream country. if you can go to the third floor where there is the pool you can see roma from the top of the lake and if the day is clear you can also see the reflection of the dishes of tide cooked as well as with a lot of passion and heart from the chef, lo. the price for me is to consider national-popular. all extremely perfect, a applause to Mr. Luca who showed us and convinced us of the choice of place and menu. Best wishes to all those who will choose this wonderful location to celebrate
