Pagnanelli
Pagnanelli is designed on different levels. The dining rooms are framed by its windows and terraces overlooking the lake. The style of Pagnanelli is the attention to every little detail, refined but original at the same time. In the Blue Room one has the sensation of being at one with the lake especially in the evening when at dinner time candles are lit on every table creating a decidedly romantic atmosphere. Pièce de resistance of Pagnanelli is the cellar, recently restored with a project intent on creating an area for events and special evenings. For many visitors to Rome all of this is an experience not to be missed. This Restaurant was visited by Famous Hollywood actors like Robert De Niro Catherine Zeta Jones Nicolas Cage Daniel Day Lewis

Castel Gandolfo
The site of the modern town is a candidate for the site of legendary ancient Alba Longa, capital of the Latin League. It was later developed by emperor Domitian into his vast palace. Its name is derived from a fortification of the ducal Gandolfi family (of Genoese origin, named after St. Gondolfus) in the 12th century, which passed to the Savelli family from whom the Apostolic Camera purchased it in 1596 for 150,000 scudi.
20 minutes
Lake Albano
Lake Albano, the most evocative place for a trip out of town Lake Albano (in Italian Lago Albano) is a volcanic crater lake elliptical in shape situated in the Alban Hills (Colli Albani), at the foot of Monte Cavo. It takes its name from Albalonga, the mythical city founded by Ascanius, son of Aeneas, and narrated in the Aeneid by Virgil. But it is also called Lake Castel Gandolfo for its proximity to the village that houses the summer residence of the Pope. Together with Lake Nemi it forms the volcanic lake complex of the Colli Albani. The lake is fed by underground sources and drained by an artificial outlet supposedly built in 398-397 B.C. At about 170 meters it is the deepest of the Italian volcanic lakes, rich in vegetation and archaeological and historical-artistic evidence. On its banks are the archaeological remains of ancient Bronze Age stilts (now called Village of the Millstones).
