Ostia
If you decide to visit Ostia Lido, the seaside resort of Rome, then perhaps we could recommend where to stay.
Property
The apartment we stayed at is located in the heart of all of this.
It is on the 2nd floor of a Lungomare corner house with a wide, well lit entrance from Piazza Cesario Console.
The large sitting room has two double sofas that turn into two double beds if there is a need for it.
Open plan kitchen offers a sea view from its windows, so your morning coffees are guaranteed with fresh breeze without even leaving the kitchen!
Sliding door leads to the shower-toilet that is done up in a very Italian warm manner.
The bedroom containing double bed and built-in specious wardrobes leads to killer feature of this property - the massive terrace!
And this is where we enjoyed our coffees alfresco in the mornings and partied with friends in the evenings watching the sunset.
The outdoor furniture with loungers allow for either socialising or rest times. Just imagine having a siesta nap on fresh air after having a delicious Italian lunch!
Landlord
All this was made possible due to super non-invasive landlord who let us be in a quite, cosy and extremely homely atmosphere!
Amenities
As it is very centrally located, what is more, right on a promenade/beach, all local amenities are within minutes walk.
This is the very corner where chargeable and free beaches meet, so you are pampered for choice.
Coffee and ice cream shops are part of the building and local supermarkets are 2-3 mins away.
Larger Carrefour is only twice the distance away near Lido Centro train station.
Connections
Jumping on the train at the above station will take you to Rome centre in under an hour.
Also from here you can get a shuttle bus to Fiumicino Airport for 1.30 Euros when you depart. The transfer time takes less than 30mins.
Taxi fare for the same trip will be under 30 euros and take 10-15mins.
All-in-all the property we stayed in is highly recommended for its location, proximity to sea and other amenities, ease of access/connections and friendly Italian vibe in the air after all!
