A place to stay between history and nature
The del Gallo Castle is located in the heart of the medieval village of Mandela, a few kilometers from Rome, among the hills of the Aniene Valley. Formerly known as the Gardens of Horace, the complex has now taken on a new name that reflects its connection to the estate's historical origins and the family that has nurtured its identity for generations. Nestled in a centuries-old park and overlooking a landscape of rare beauty, the castle is the ideal place for those seeking an authentic stay in a setting of great cultural and environmental value.
An immersive experience of art, silence, and landscape
Those staying at the del Gallo Castle have access to a large private park with paths, olive groves, and romantic gardens. The tranquility and harmony of the setting offer the opportunity to slow down, stroll among the centuries-old trees, or read under a wisteria pergola. The complex's baroque church, the archaeological remains visible along the way, and the intimate atmosphere of the village make the stay deeply immersive. The Castle is also a place of inspiration for artists, scholars, and travelers seeking beauty and contemplation.
In addition to individual accommodations, the del Gallo Castle offers the opportunity to host private events such as weddings, cultural retreats, corporate meetings, and artistic productions. The variety of spaces—from the internal halls to the courtyards, from the church to the gardens—allows for great flexibility in organizing, while always respecting the simplicity and elegance that characterize the entire complex. Each guest is welcomed into a private setting with meticulous attention to detail, where hospitality is rooted in a long family tradition and the value of authenticity.
You can reserve the entire Castle for your stay. You'll have the opportunity to sleep in the same rooms that have hosted illustrious figures in Italian and international history, including artists, writers, leaders, statesmen, and even a Pope.
