The apartment itself is very comfortable, we were there in April, and the heaters came in handy. The kids loved the balcony with its seaside view and spent quite a bit of time playing there. Paolo is very nice and accommodating and had some helpful tips for both the apartment and surrounding location. There is everything you can think of within a 5 minutes walk.” - Sam

Head on down to the beach!
Lido di Ostia has long been a summer playground of the Romans. What many travelers don’t know when visiting Rome is that during the summer the heat and congestion are almost unbearable. That doesn’t mean you need to change your travel plans. Instead, stay here in Ostia just a short train ride from the city. And take a break from the sightseeing with a day spent on the beach when you stay at any of these charming accommodations.
