The room was spacious and clean with amazing views over the lake as we did pay a bit extra for the lake views. The location was fantastic with a great choice of restaurants and bars.

The hotel restaurant does not open on a Monday and typically we were staying Monday, slightly disappointed that we could not eat there as the menu looked great and the views from the restaurant are amazing. We paid for room and breakfast but the breakfast was not included (free) to an extent, let me explain, there are certain items on the menu that are free I.E "basic items such as pastries" all the good items such as "bagel with cream cheese and salmon or meats etc" where not free, so it's not really breakfast included when you're having to pay for that, so be prepared to pay for breakfast as the items you will definitely want are not included.

Our stay at La Culla del Lago was simply perfect. The panoramic lake view is stunning—peaceful, calming, and the ideal backdrop for a relaxing getaway. What truly sets this place apart is the incredible hospitality. The owners are hands-on and personally involved in every aspect of the service. Their warmth, attention to detail, and genuine care made us feel right at home. The restaurant is outstanding—perfect for a refined dinner experience, and in the morning, we enjoyed breakfast with a breathtaking sunrise over the lake. Every meal felt special, and the setting made it even more memorable. Highly recommended for anyone looking for authentic hospitality, exceptional food, and unforgettable views.

The only downside is that it can be difficult to find an Uber or taxi in the area, especially at off-peak times. However, the hotel staff is very helpful in arranging taxis and making transportation as smooth as possible, concierge-level service.

Located Lakeside with a covered Terrace overlooking the lake, with only the sound of the birds, makes this location 10. offers ample easy parking on site. The staff could not be better. Breakfast on the terrace is most enjoyable. Comfortable beds. Plenty of hot water for showers. Also nice, ample electrical outlets. Super clean

Unless sleeping or eating, there was really no comfortable area. No comfortable area in which to lounge with friends. The room furnishings though lovely need refining to make them more user friendly, ie to make suitcase more easily accessible or clothing more easily unpacked. Overall, decor needs major update to maintain current rate.

This is our second visit due to the location. We were willing to pay a premium for the lake view. The location is wonderful. The house is surrounded by a lush Mediterranean garden and everywhere there are sunbeds and umbrellas. A little sandy platform is provided from where you can get straight into the lake. The air con was very efficient which was a god send given the heatwave

The check in experience was not so pleasant. The man at the desk was quite surly and not very welcoming, like he was doing us a favor in allowing us to stay there. But other staff members were friendly . Quite pricey for a three star hotel

location is absolutely amazing, sitting on the side of the lake with views from thenbedroom across the lake was fanastic. staff were great and ever so helpful. there was a wedding party on the night we stayed but the hotel made suggestions ofr dinner locally which were superb as well.

breakfast was very disappointing. there was nothing in the restaurant only a small menu card with a choice of five sweet cakes and three savoury toast options included then five egg dishes at extra cost. drinks juices etc were a guessing game as no list available. having had some amazing italian hotel breakfasts this disappointed

Utterly divine. Beautiful, stunning location. The property is 6* quality. The restaurant is superb without being pretentious. Everyone we met were extraordinary and welcoming. The gardens are beautiful with many places to sit and relax with a view of the lake. Excellently positioned to walk into the local area or a walk along the lake on a path. Brilliant value for money in a truly unique location

Nothing. It was perfect

Breakfast was good fresh quality ingredients cook to to order by the staff. Good secure parking facility very tranquil and relaxing location . Great views of lake Albano and the Pope summer residence on Castel Gondolfo. Bed was very comfortable I have stayed at this hotel for ten weeks 35 years ago and the owner has always been friendly aii these years

The hotel is quaint and very beautiful in a very quiet, tranquil location. The staff were very good and welcoming. They were happy to help with anything we asked of them. The room was quite small but it didn’t bother us, as we spent time out all the time. The restaurant sits and looks out over the lake, the view is amazing. On top of that the food and wine are exceptional, I really can’t rate the food high enough!

Nothing.

I enjoyed this small family owned hotel, and the owner was very accommodating and hospitable. His son speaks good English and works the front desk. I enjoyed the peace at this location as its not too close to a major road and there were no rowdy guests. You can directly take a path around the lake from this hotel, though a bit overgrown at the moment, most of the path is fine. On my last day here I finally woke up early enough to have a good (and included with my room) breakfast downstairs. In town there are several good restaurants where people speak enough English to get by.

The peace of this location has a cost (which I should have known), and its about a 25 minute walk into town and 45 minutes to the Castel Gandolfo train station unless you get transport from the hotel, and taxis/ubers don't tend to want to drive out here. Fortunately I was able to get a taxi from the front desk. This hotel would be ideal with a car, though I didn't have one the parking lot out front seemed convenient.

Absolutely beautiful location, very nice room and bathroom and a view of the lake, probably lovely and peaceful during the week but not on weekends.

There was a wedding reception on the Saturday evening which was very noisy until after 12:30 at night, the Sunday afternoon there was another function which went on all afternoon until about 7 in the evening. On this day the gate to the lake access was locked so we couldn’t even enjoy that.
