Positioned between the city of Rome and its coastal resorts,Ostia Antica is a beautiful place to stay, especially if you are interested in archaeology and nature. While the city is a short (and frequent) train ride away, if you want to enjoy the forests and coast, it's advisable to have a car. Patrizia's spare room is comfortable with a large bed and a desk, and a decent bathroom. There was a simple breakfast. Patrizia is friendly and very knowledgeable about the natural world. I'd go again like a shot, but do make sure you have clear directions. The village layout is simple, but the village maps are confusing.
