My initial reason for seeking out Patrizia's place, was a very early departure from Fiumicino, and her offering to drive me to the airport, even at 5:00 AM (with a knock on the door for a wake-up call). The room is impeccably clean, shower and bathroom also. Breakfast is self service, with a small fridge to store cold drinks and such). Although the room is by the front entrance, you feel completely private, and as if in a self contained unit. It's a private family - you won't be intruded upon, but had I had more time I wouldn't have minded taking them up on the meals, that they (for a fee) will prepare.
Being a dog-lover, I particularly appreciated meeting/playing with their wonderful spaniel, Lilli - but again, this was on my own accord - you will neither see nor hear her, unless you actually ask. The same goes for their charming daughter.
I did, however, go for a nice evening walk with her husband (and Lilli!) in the wonderful protected expanse of land that is just 50 meters from the house.
Summing up: Great for the 'airport-service', if you're on a 'redeye flight', but also just to chill down for a day or two after a perhaps busy time in Rome. Asides from the famous 'ruins' of Ostia Antica, the little town itself has a quaint 'home town charm with several nice and affordable restaurants, cafés, pizza places. I met several elderly couples, who said they just enjoyed taking the short trip from Rome to experience a evening of a quieter atmosphere and a good meal... Recommended!
