Owner's Profile

Owner Description

Year Purchased: 1968

Hello, I am Mary Anne, I was born in Brooklyn 52 years ago and moved to Italy when I was 11. Although I have been here in Rome for the past 40 years I never stopped speaking English . I love meeting new peple and I will be happy to keep in touch with you during your stay at OSTIABELLAVISTA; I am always available for any thing you might need or any suggestion you might be looking for, after all this is YOUR vist to the "Eternal City" and you should make the best of it. I live right next door and work in Ostia (with my husband)...so... I'm always around in case you need something...

Why the Owner Chose Other Rome Properties

The reason I have this vacation rental is because the building was an inheritance of my father's and his brothers and sisters (and that is why our whole family moved from the USA to Italy). After a long story (my parents have now past) I ended up with and 2 floor attic, the top floor was very narrow and long therefore we decided to make part of the top floor into an appartment for when my relatives visit....but then unfortunately they do not visit that often and this is the reason I decided to put it on the market as a vacation rental...and I've been enjoying it so much!!

The Unique Benefits of this Apartment

Well mostly what I will be telling you here has been related to me by the people who have stayed here. They enjoy just walking out of the building and crossing the street to get there morning cappuccino or doing some grocery shopping and having a vast variety of foods to choose from, even ready made meals like lasagna or eggplant parmiggiano!! They enjoy the view and relaxing out on the terrace (I've had people preferring on staying on the terrace rater than going in to Rome sight-seeing!!!) Another benefit for most of my visitors is that I live just right next door...so I'm available for any problems or just questions that might come up.

    • we had a grand time and the accommodations were wonderful, within walking distance to all the important places like grocery stores, restaurants and train/bus station. A very relaxing vacation. Our host was wonderful, thoughtful, helpful and very kind and friendly. Thank you Mary Anne for a great vacation.

    • Ostia Bella Vista was the perfect place for our family to escape the chaos of Rome. Ostia Lido has all the amenities (grocery stores, restaurants, etc.) that one needs without wall-to-wall people. Try the pizzeria below the apartment. It is great! The apartment is well maintained and the terrace is beautiful! Mary Anne is a very gracious hostess and she speaks perfect English. We went to Italy to research my Calabrian heritage. We left Italy with wonderful memories and new friends.

    • Mary Anne your hospitality and warmth was the icing on the cake to your quaint apartment. You made our first trip to Rome so comfortable. We loved staying in Ostia among Italians vs. the throngs of tourists in Rome central. It was a such a treat. From the friendly Butcher who made our daily sandwiches for our trips into Rome, to the Barista at the corner store who served up the best cappuccinos every morning on our way to the train. It was fun and magical. I agree with your other guests, the train is fast and easy and a great time to visit and collect thoughts on the plans for the day. And, at the end of the day, we looked forward to relaxing together on the balcony and toasting the sunset with another great glass of wine. We are already planning our next trip and wouldn't think of staying anywhere that didn't include Mary Anne as our hostess. She spoke English which took tons of stress off our stay and offered to translate and contact our next innkeepers to ensure the rest of our trip went smoothly. Just cannot say enough good things about Mary Anne. Ciao! Ciao! Hope to see you soon.

    • My husband and I along with our two grown children stayed here 8 nights/May into June 2009. It couldn't have been more perfect! MaryAnne was extremely helpful from the first time I contacted her about the apartment right through to the day we left. She's a wonderful, genuine person. We felt at home from day one. The apartment is warmly decorated, kitched fully equipped. We cooked many meals there and ate most on the relaxing terrace. Grocery store, fresh fruits/vegetables, restaurants and shops of all kinds very conveniently located. There is a walking bridge above the train that makes it very convenient to get back and forth to/from the apartment. We went into Rome almost daily using train and metro/subway, up to 30-40 minutes depending on where you are going. We did lots of walking and lots of stairs and saw some incredible sights in Rome. It's enormous, so do research and plan ahead...I'm glad we did! MaryAnne gave us a phone to stay in contact with her if we needed anything. She even drove me to the pharmacy one day. She was always there if we needed her, but respected our privacy. She even agreed to take a picture with us. If we go back to Rome, we would definitely stay here again. Thanks again MaryAnne for all your help and hospitality! Ciao, Lori, Pat, Nick and Stephanie

    • Our stay was from the 4th to 11th of October, 2008 and we enjoyed every minute of it. Absolutely no surprises and our host, Mary Ann, was attentive to all of our needs and certainly made us feel at home. The apartment is exactly as advertised but contains many more 'jems' such as several binders containing all kinds of information...not only for Rome, but also for Ostia (best local gelatto; best reasonably priced restaurants; where to shop; where to buy your groceries). Mary Ann is totally dedicated to her guests; most caring...you will not be disappointed. If we return to the area we will definitely stay there again! P.S...for a small fee Mary Ann drove us to the airport which was not only more convenient for us but saved us the higher cost of a taxi.

    • My husband and I recently had the pleasure of staying in Mary Anne's apartment. What a treat!! The convenience of the grocery store just down the street, the fruit market right outside the door, the wonderful view from the rooftop, the hospitality......I can't say enough. As others have said, it's a convenient 30 min ride to the city providing plenty of time to plan your day in Rome. If we are lucky enough to return, we'll certainly contact Mary Anne again. Mary Anne thank you for all that you did to make our trip to Italy such a memorable one. Take care!

    • We had the most relaxing time here at the apartment. We stayed for a week and traveled into Rome daily to meet our son and daughter in law, who had flown in to meet us. It was our daughter's high school graduation trip. Maryanne was amazing! She met us at the airport and that was such a treat! Having the apartment to come back to was very relaxing. We loved walking around the town and finding all the little shops. The beach was a fun treat, too. The apartment was everything we needed and made our trip very special. Thank you so much Maryanne for everything!!

    • We stayed at this apartment rental from May 21-24/08. What a great place! It had everything that we needed, and Mary Anne was super good to us. She even picked us up from station & then besides letting us use a cellphone also let us use a laptop since we needed to do an urgent email. She helped us with info on Rome with her booklets, pamphlets and her answers. The fact that she spoke English made the visit even better. The location is outside of Rome, about 40 mins from Rome Termini, but great connections via metro. Ostia Lido is a beautiful area, and it was so nice to relax out of the busy-ness of Rome. We stayed with one other couple and there was plenty enough room with the sofa bed & the double bed. We really enjoyed our visit to this apartment and would definitely book in here again if we come to Rome. Thank you so much again Mary Anne, especially for all the little extras you did for us.

      We had an incredibly relaxing time in this beautiful apartment. Our only regret is not staying long enough, as 3 nights was not enough to enjoy Rome and all of the local beach. We found the hospitality and extra comforts to be outstanding. The fruit stand at the bottom of the apartment and grocery around the corner were very convenient. The washing machine, great deck and beautiful weather made washing our clothes mid-trip a breeze. The box of toys were a treasure for our youngest daughter, and the tasteful decoration of the apartment has us thinking of how to do our own home. The terrace and view are unmatchable, and the accessibility of the train station without hearing the train is great. Thank you, Eric, Sandi, Ally and Anna Miller P.S. I almost forgot to mention the maps and tourist information, well organized and extremely helpful!
