Perfect place for a longer stay and to mix culture and leisure activities. 1 hour with public transportation to Rome city which we used 6 times during our stay and quite close to Ostia beach. Francesco, the father of Andrea was a great and friendly host during our stay and gave good recommendations. The house was far big enough for us and the 3 kids. Everything you need is there. The garden is really great for the kids to play. We recommend the Ratatouille restaurant which is very close and offer great italian food. Further it is worth a hop down to Ostia Antica and visit the ancient city. For beach we recommend not to go on weekends as its incredibly crowded. Use the weekend to go to Rome so the train and Metro will not be too full while you go to the beach on normal working days. In general we recommend to have a car when choosing that house, as in our opinion the distances to walk are quite far (supermarket, train station).
We would choose this place again.
