Un gioiello nel cuore dei Castelli romani. Il giardino è curato in ogni particolare, nel Palazzo si alternano collezioni fotografiche sulla storia recente a saloni ricchi di marmi ed affreschi. La collezione dei ritratti dei Papi illustra una evoluzione pittorica che parte da lontano fino ai tempi moderni, dalle finestre si gode di un panorama mozzafiato. E stata una esplosione di emozioni che raccomando vivamente a tutti.

The tour of the gardens and residence of the Pope's summer residence was an easy and interesting experience. The WWII display was informative, and we spoke to a man later in the day who said that he was born in the refugee camp at the residence and was baptised by the pope Pius XII himself. The interiors are grand and beautifully done but the views of the lake stole the show.

Es war ein einmaliges Erlebnis und da es in der Nachsaison war, war es auch schön leer. Der audio guide war sejr informativ (aber die Erklärung zu den Päpsten ging zu schnell unf hatte leider keine highlights) und der Blick inndie privaten Räume war sehr autentisch. Das Personal war sehr freundlich und pragmatisch.

why only for good thing one can state his mind? I had tickets for Sunday November 16th. although whenever I checked on your site tickets for the next day were available, but suddenly no tickets for 3 days, so got the ones for Sunday. it was a busy day Sunday for us. I cannot understand what happened, because on Vatican official site there were available, even for afternoon without audio guide. as one decides to buy from your site, for additional costs, I expected to have all facilities, and dates available, but it was not the case

It was lovely to walk around the varied gardens at Castel Gandalfo. They were lovely in their own right, but were surpassed by the beautiful villa. The history and information around each room about the different Pope's. The history around the second world war and how the Villa was impacted was very interesting.

We are glad that despite a slight misunderstanding regarding the organization of our trip, the agency representative was very helpful and adjusted the time schedule of our visit. We liked the place and enjoyed the day in Castel Gandolfo.
