In the heart of the Castelli Romani stands Villa del Cardinale, an ancient 17th-century hunting lodge owned by the Colonna Princes and now an exclusive venue for prestigious events. Nestled in a magnificent four-hectare centuries-old park, the Mansion enjoys a unique location overlooking Lake Castel Gandolfo and is recognized as a Residence of National Interest for its inestimable artistic and architectural value.
Inside the estate, three independent and exclusively bookable spaces offer unique scenarios for every occasion: • Villa del Cardinale • Punta San Michele • The Stables
