OSTELLO del Lago is a property in Grottaferrata, in the Castelli Romani area, about 500 metres from Bordo Lago and 8 km from Rome Ciampino Airport. The hotel is designed for those looking for a simple and informal base, with a garden, terrace, common room and free private parking, and it is pet friendly with no extra charge for animals.
The available rooms range from the more compact Single Room to the Spacious Double Room, up to the Basic Triple Room designed for small groups or families. All of them offer a private entrance, a living area, a private bathroom and a flat-screen TV, a practical setup that favours functionality and privacy.
Breakfast, served buffet-style with Italian options, is included in the stay. The location is particularly appreciated by couples, who rate it positively for its proximity to the lake and to Grottaferrata’s main historic sites, such as the Cathedral and the Abbey. Rome’s centre remains within reach, about 30-40 minutes away by car, making the hotel a convenient base for those who want to visit the Capital without staying there directly.
OSTELLO del Lago offers three room types, designed for different needs: from the more compact single solution to the triple suited to small groups. The Single Room measures 9 m² and accommodates one traveller with a single bed, while the Spacious Double Room, at 14 m², is designed for two people with a large double bed. The Basic Triple Room, the most spacious at 18 m², combines a single bed and a large double bed to accommodate up to three people.
All rooms share some basic features: private entrance, living area, tiled flooring, heating, private bathroom and flat-screen TV. These are simple and functional spaces, without frills, designed for a practical stay rather than luxury. The choice between the three types essentially depends on the number of guests and the space desired, with the Basic Triple standing out for its larger size and the ability to host more people in the same room.
The most spacious of the double rooms, with 14 m² available for two people. It has a private entrance, living area and tiled flooring, as well as the private bathroom and flat-screen TV found throughout the property. A convenient solution for couples wanting a bit more space than the Single Room.
The most compact room type in the property, 9 m² designed for a single guest. Despite its limited size, it retains a private entrance, living area and private bathroom. It is the ideal choice for solo travellers who don’t need large spaces.
The largest room in the hotel, at 18 m², with a combination of a single bed and a large double bed allowing up to three people to stay. Suited to small groups or families, it shares a private entrance, living area and private bathroom with the other rooms, but stands out for its larger capacity.
OSTELLO del Lago offers guests well-kept outdoor spaces, including a garden, terrace, sun terrace and picnic area with outdoor furniture, as well as an indoor and outdoor play area and board games to entertain younger guests too. The property has a common room with a TV area, vending machines for snacks and drinks, and offers free private parking, including a space for guests with disabilities.
For dining, an on-site café and a snack bar are available, while breakfast is served buffet-style with Italian options. Attention to accessibility is concrete: rooms and facilities for guests with disabilities are available, along with wheelchair access, a toilet with grab rails and raised seat, a lower sink and an emergency bell in the bathroom.
Every room has a private bathroom, flat-screen TV and internet connection, while security is guaranteed 24 hours a day with controlled key access. The property is pet friendly, with no additional costs for animals.
