Penthouse on the Mediterranean cin: IT058091C234HM4USY

Amazing property! The location is perfect, right near the shops and restaurants in Ostia, but on a quiet and private street. There is a private balcony with a table and chairs and an amazing view of the beach and Mediterranean. There is a lot to do in this area, including the beach, shops, restaurants, and Ostia Antica. The owner, Luigi, was very helpful and accomodating. He met us at our pre-arranged check-in time and went over everything we needed to know. Highly recommended!

This was the perfect end of our Italian vacation. The location was perfect, close to the beach and great restaurants. Luigi was easy to work with and super responsive, as was Fabio when it came to check in day. We definitely recommend staying here!

We stayed in Luigis appartement for one week. Luigi was very complaisant and helpful. The Appartement is in top condition, everything looks New with some really nice and fancy furniture elements. The balcony with the seaview is wonderful and absolutely worth the steps to the Appartement on the third floor (no elevator), of course seaview means looking between two buildings in front of, but we were glad not staying directly on the sometimes noisy beach Road. The beach areas close to the Appartement are with costs for entrance and offer sunloungers and umbrellas. For the free areas you have to walk the Beach Road for about 6-8 minutes. So we had a really good time there and would totally recommend it. Thank you very much for everything, dear Luigi!

One star overall rating because of the arrogant, supercilious, impolite or simply cutting rude attitude of the owner. After all what happened to us it is hard to believe that he holds a 5 star rating. We (a family of 4 with two kids) rent the apart for 2 nights in early July 2019. Upon arrival we met someone who called himself Antonio. As usual for any check in I gave him to photo my Canadian driver license, and that was ok with him. We thought that it was all for a check in as it is an official ID document with a photo and address. We also agreed that we will pay some taxes and fee in cash the next day, as Antonio has no option for a credit card and asked we pay cash. All ok up to this point until we met Luigi - the owner, on the next day. Luigi told us that he needs to photo or copy passports of all the family (!) including my 9 y.o. and 4 y.o. kids. We've been shocked by that, on top of that, because of the language barrier the oral communication with the host through Google translate was neither clear nor precise. Without providing us all the information Luigi insisted that he need our passports now. I said that we could do that in the police office as passports contains too sensitive private information and I cannot let him just photo passports of all members of my family. I have inquired what kind of urgency or emergency is to this matter and asked his permission to let us at least to take a shower before going to the police, because by that time we all just returned after our day at beach. While Luigi answered that we go now as he is loosing his time with us and he would rather relax at home then dealing with us. That was extremely rude, but we comply and went to the police wearing bathing suits, all the family with 2 kids. Unbelievably humiliating experience! After all we have find out that by law we required to provide ID documents as we always do and that what I did with Antonio on the first day, but there is nothing that it must be particularly passports. Never before Luigi and after him nobody in Italy has asked to copy our passports. So all this story happened because of the rude attitude of Mr. Luigi and his incorrect interpretation of the law requirements as well as his inability to properly inform his clients. No excuse, no nothing after all... never again to Luigi apart. Be careful who travels by car as it is mentioned that parking is included but no parking available and you have to look for a spot on the street.

Luigi was wonderful to work with. He met us on time, showed us around the apartment and recommended restaurants nearby. We wish we would have had more time at his lovely apartment with an ocean view!!

The condo was beautifully decorated and the owners were very helpful in getting us settled. The view was beautiful, and the patio off the master bedroom was the perfect place for wine in the evening and coffee on the morning. It is located less than a block from the main piazza, where there are many good restaurants. Excellent place to stay!!
