As a starting point we choose the eco-friendly<\/strong> Green Empathy apartments<\/strong><\/a>, located in the historic center of Castel Gandolfo, which we reached by train<\/strong> from the capital. From these sustainable accommodations we can experience all the authentic and relaxed atmosphere of the village, walking through its streets and the glimpses of Lake<\/strong> Albano<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

What to see in Castel Gandolfo<\/h2>\n

From the beautiful church<\/strong> of San Tommaso di Villanova and the fountain, both designed by Bernini<\/strong>, to the Papal<\/strong> Palace<\/strong>, up to the surrounding woods<\/strong>: Castel Gandolfo offers us so much to see.<\/p>\n

We certainly cannot miss the Papal Palace and the complex of the Pontifical<\/strong> Villas<\/strong>. Castel Gandolfo was in fact chosen as a summer resort by many popes, starting with Urban VIII, and still today it preserves suggestive<\/strong> buildings<\/strong>, including beautiful frescoes<\/strong> and the well-kept Italian gardens<\/strong> of Villa<\/strong> Barberini<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

But you want to fall in love with the village you can simply visit the shops<\/strong> of the historic<\/strong> center<\/strong>, taste a delicious peach<\/strong> or discover the dishes based on lake fish<\/strong> in the many restaurants<\/strong>, enjoying a slow<\/strong> and genuine<\/strong> lifestyle<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Lake Albano, between relax and sport<\/h2>\n

Walking in the elegant of the center it is easy to see the waters of Lake<\/strong> Albano<\/strong>. In fact, Castel Gandolfo overlooks this lake wedged in the former volcanic<\/strong> crater<\/strong>, perfect both for those who want to relax in nature<\/strong> and for those who want to experience sports<\/strong>. In fact, Lake Albano invites you to long romantic walks<\/strong> through picturesque<\/strong> views<\/strong>, with the possibility of stopping in the many restaurants in the area. But it also offers the opportunity to try your hand at water<\/strong> sports<\/strong>, such as sailing<\/strong> or canoeing<\/strong>, or to explore the lake aboard an electric boat.<\/p>\n
