  Delicioso Fin de anno

  Estuve con mi novia comiendo alli para celebrar el fin de año, la llegada no fue dificil, eso si habia mucha gente porque el evento fue con todos los juguetes. La comida estuvo estupenda, la atención magnifica, el lugar hermoso, observamos los juegos artificiales y la pasamos delicioso, una experiencia que estaría dispuesto a repetir.

  Amazing location, Amazing staff

  Stayed at the hotel for 3 nights and cannot fault it. Was very clean, the staff could not do more. View overlooking the lake were amazing. All rooms are very different but all v large (ask for shower or bath preference). Located approx. 45 mins form Rome city, but hotel arranged taxis etc. So helpful. Rooms did not have AC, but breeze was fine. Reasonably priced for business or family holiday trip.

  A quiet and picturesque haven close to Rome

  This Luxury Country House, is located about 35 minutes from Fiumicino airport and very close to Ciampino airport. La Locanda del Pontefice is on Via Dei Laghi 24, at the Km 8 in Marino, Lazio. If you're using gps, it will take you to the start of Via Dei Laghi, but you need to keep going until you reach the 8 km sign post, which is right at the entrance to La Locanda. Rooms beautifully decorated and comfortable with views, depending on which one, over the garden and/or Lake Albano. We booked the one bedroom apartment which has a very large living area with an enormous window, giving a view of the lake, and Castel Gandolfo, originally the Popes' summer palace but now a museum. There is a modern, large and light-filled restaurant, with views over the garden, which unfortunately was not operating other than for breakfast when we visited in early January 2017. There are many restaurants and cafés in the nearby town of Marino, and many sprinkled about the area. The owners, Piero & Francesca are very helpful and give advice about local eateries and attractions. So, if you want to explore a few places outside of Rome, this is an ideal spot. From here it's a short car ride to places like Frascati, Tivoli, Sperlonga, Ostia Antica as well as other nearby places such a Lake Nemi, where two enormous "pleasure" boats belonging to Emperor Caligula were found in the early 1930's - 210 metres long and 70 metres wide. The purpose built "hangars" they were housed in are big enough to take a Boeing777! The boats were destroyed by Nazi forces in 1944. However there are many artefacts from the boats displayed in the building now; very interesting and worth a look. La Locanda Del Pontefice is a tranquil and comfortable place to enjoy Rome from the outskirts, and if you want to go into the heart of Rome, there is a train service from Marino that will take you there in less than 30 minutes. The best of both worlds!

  great view

  The rooms which we had 205 and 206 for a family of 4 were extremely spacious and are of a high standard by comparison to other hotels in this area. The view from the garden over the lake is wonderful we found the hotel to be a restful place to stay and we are all looking forward to going back again.

  A suite by the lake

  The location is awesome, being just above the Albano Lake, and gives a breathtaking panoramic view. The cream-shaded rooms are outstanding and spacious. Breakfast needs to be improved, both about quality and range of choice. Parking area is a bit small and uncomfortable.
