Holiday rentals near Cinecitta World

The property was exactly as advertised...clean, well equipped and just right for our needs. A few minutes from the train to central Rome and ostia Antica and even closer to the bus. Our Hostess Barbara was exceptional in all respects, friendly cooperative and responsive to our every need, including particularly the welcome airport transfers via her husband Giuseppe. The area is typical apartment living suburban Rome. Friendly and safe and with several supermarkets, corner stores and restaurants close by. Hot fresh panini from the next-door bakery with our morning coffee each morning was a particular pleasure. No hesitation to recommend to anyone wishing to be near both Ostia Antica and Roma Centro and close to the airport.

We were a group of five families with young kids, who had travelled from the US, Australia and Cyprus to reunite as a combined unit at Villa Elena after several years of being apart, and to celebrate some milestone birthdays. The villa was perfect and an easy commute from central Rome. It accommodated us all so comfortably that we didn’t even need to leave the villa, for it had everything we needed….deliciously catered Italian fare by our host Freddy (breakfast, lunch and dinner), a super fun pasta cooking class hosted by Freddy, a well stocked wine cellar and bar, an enormous (though very deep) swimming pool, snooker table, ping pong table, grounds for kids to run about and play. From the moment we arrived, we were warmly welcomed by Freddy and Leo (Labrador) into the former family home and instantly felt very comfortable and at home. The villa was huge, with bedrooms galore and each with own ensuite so families could have their own space in need. Elisa helped us to curate our stay including arranging our various meals and our celebratory birthday dinner for a combined 40th and 70th. We all had such a blast and literally rolled out of there 10kg heavier after consuming so much good food and wine. Highly recommend.
