Latest Ostia hotel reviews
5 Reviews This couple enjoyed the services of an outstanding masseuse right there on their lounge chair - sea breeze blowing - sun warm but not hot. Life is GOOD at the beach in Rome! 5 Euro for just your back - 10 Euro for full body massage!
2 Reviews Here in the quiet Piazza Umberto you will find residences, the Church and frequent art festivals on the weekends. People visiting Ostia Antica ruins often miss this delightful area of Ostia - right there by the ruins.

Vendors along the beach: Goods Delivered to your beach towel
icunme Says: There is a fairly steady stream of vendors selling their wares along the beaches.
icunme Says: You are on the Tyrannian sea here - not especially clean but most people enjoy the water. It is very salty and, personally, I prefer swimming in the many pristine lakes around Rome.
icunme Says: This guy was out in the surf for a good part of the day - gathering whatever in his homemade net. Fascinating!
icunme Says: You are likely to see paddle ball games all along the beach - all ages play - some are really good, like this serious senior who kept score.
icunme Says: Yep - we could live here - happily ever after - vines replace the white picket fence!
