Where we are
Lido dei Pini, on the coast south of Rome
The house is in Lido dei Pini, a quiet residential area of Anzio a few minutes from the beach. Anzio's harbour, restaurants and the ferries to Ponza are a short drive away; Rome is about an hour by car or train.
Getting here
- By car — from Rome take the Pontina (SS148) or the Nettunense; private parking at the house.
- By train — regional trains from Roma Termini to Anzio take about an hour; we can suggest a taxi from the station.
- By plane — Fiumicino (FCO) and Ciampino (CIA) are both about an hour away.
