Pope's Summer Residence Day Trip from Rome Including Garden Visit and Lunch

Delight in the rare privilege of discovering the Pope’s summer residence in Castel Gandolfo, recently opened by Pope Francis for a select number of tours. Until a short time ago such a visit would have been impossible, but for the first time we offers an exclusive experience of this magical realm, filled with secrets and history, that is sure to charm you thanks to our privileged position as an official Vatican partner, all with benefits you can’t find anywhere else! Journey from Rome to Castel Gandolfo in Italy's Alban Hills, and go where many Catholics never get the chance to go — the Pope’s summer residence. Explore the Apostolic Palace of Castel Gandolfo and the Barberini Gardens. Then, sit down at a lunch buffet with fresh foods from the Pope’s private farm like yogurt, cheese, honey, salad, produce, and bruschetta with olive oil and tomatoes.
