Best Answer

The pope lives in Vatican City except during the hot summer months when he may move to Castel Gandolfo outside of Rome.

Answer

Traditionally, the pope lives in the opulent 19-room Papal Apartments in the Vatican, however the present pontiff, Pope Francis, does not live there. On first seeing the Papal Apartments he is reported to have exclaimed, "But there is room here for 300 people!" Instead he chose to live in a smaller but still quite comfortable apartment in Casa Santa Marta, on the other side of Vatican City.

The Pope can also choose to stay in the Pontifical Palace in the Italian city of Castel Gandolfo during the hot summer months but, again, Pope Francis has indicated he will forego this pleasure, throwing the magnificent gardens open for guided tours.
