    Siempre quise visitar Castel Gandolfo, este programa cubrió mi expectativa. En el pueblito hay pequeños restaurantes que se come bien. Gracias.

    Il ne figure pas dans le descriptif la montée très dure à faire à pied car il n'est pas prévu un service de navette même pour les gens dont l'état de santé le justifie. Je suis cardiaque, opérée du cœur et j'ai bien cru ne jamais arriver jusqu'au bout de la montée au village perché. Il faut le signaler et prévoir un service.
