Overview

Crossing the typical landscape of the Roman countryside, you arrive at Castel Gandolfo, located on the western shore of Lake Albano. It is one of the “most beautiful villages in Italy” and is known for having been chosen by the popes as a summer residence, for this reason, here, culture, art, religion and nature come together in a perfect balance.
The territory of the country is included in the Castelli Romani Regional Park and is surrounded by a varied and lush nature but, in addition to this, the main green area of the municipality of Castel Gandolfo is represented by the complex of the Pontifical Villas, an extraterritorial area of the Holy See, which consists of 55 hectares of well-kept Italian gardens overlooking the Roman countryside.
Customers can visit the Papal Palace and take a walk through this wonderful city and if they want they can then have lunch in one of the typical restaurants.
