For long-distance travel, Fiumicino Airport is 25 km away; an airport shuttle is available for an extra charge. Multiple cafés, restaurants (Dal Sardo Pizza, Delizie Del Palato), and a supermarket are within a 3-minute walk, making self-catering and dining out very convenient.

Accommodation

The kitchenettes are equipped with a stovetop, refrigerator, microwave, and kitchenware. Room options offer either one double bed or two single beds. Some rooms overlook the quiet street and feature shutters that make the room very dark for sleeping. The property is a converted apartment on the ground floor, so there are no stairs to climb. The shared kitchen has a refrigerator and kettle for guest use. Electric outdoor blinds provide excellent blackout and a sense of security.
