Lake Albano

Just a 30–40 min train ride from Rome, this spot is a hidden gem! A short uphill hike from the lake takes you to Castel Gandolfo, a charming village with stunning views, cozy cafés, and the beautiful Papal Palace. The lake is perfect for a peaceful walk or paddle. Great mix of nature, history, and a little adventure!

Sweet volcanic lake near the popes summer house with kayaking you can do.

It's beautiful 😍 and view is gorgeous you have to go there

Beautiful place with lots of restaurant and beaches. Paid parking is available.

This place is just beautiful with the crystal clear water and the sandy beach. I went there for a kayak trip and it was just an amazing experience. If you come here, I really recommend renting a kayak and enjoy the lake like that. The water temperature is really nice also, so after kayaking you can relax at the beach and take a swim.

Lake Albano is a beautiful volcanic lake located near the charming town of Castel Gandolfo. Surrounded by green hills and rich with history, it's a peaceful escape from the city and easily accessible by car. The water is generally clean and clear, especially compared to other lakes near major cities. The lake's volcanic origin means it's quite deep, which helps keep the water fresh and cool.

my sweet home amazing place and views

Beautiful place with black volcanic sands. Water was crystal clear and there was some curious fishes swimming around. Listen to the locals, "don't swim to the middle there is a current which pulls you underwater", "don't swim there not safe, swim here, its safe" or "use shoes". Avoid walking barefoot and use your shoes. You will get your feet burned, sand is very hot. There was a incident while I was there, one guy burned his feet and got 2nd stage burns and he waited ambulance 2-3 hours.
