Ladispoli beach rentals

Villa Simonetta and the town of Fregene lived up to all our expectations. The Villa had everything we needed. We were two families travelling together. It had enough room for us all to have our private space but could also accommodate everyone when we hung out together. We spent most of our time in the backyard. Adults around the large dining table and kids playing ping pong and taking a dip in the Jacuzzi hot tub (which was cooled down for the summer) - we also enjoyed the outdoor shower as a quick way to cool off when coming home. The kitchen and bathrooms were well appointed. And the linens were high quality. The AC worked very well. Despite being at the Villa in August, we were very comfortable. Most days we just had the large sliding doors and windows open and this kept us cool. The location of the Villa was perfect for us. We wanted a beach holiday with a few days in Rome. We rented bikes, but often just walked. Beach clubs were a 15 min walk and the town centre (with stores and restaurants) a 12 min walk. There is a well appointed grocery store 7 min walk and a cafe with gelato/coffee/baked goods a 5 min walk We had an amazing dinner by chef Maurizio - very reasonably priced for what you get and the food was the best we had all vacation. Make sure to use Maurizio the driver. His prices were cheaper than taxis and he was very nice and reliable. Simonetta was a great host! Made us feel comfortable in her house and her town, and was easy to talk to.

Very clean spacious apartment in great condition. Very good ac units in the bedrooms ( better than we found elsewhere). Close to train station on opposite side from beach and most amenities so quieter but a bit more of a walk to some things. Modestly equipped compared to North American standards but better than most other places we stayed in Italy. Only thing we didn’t like was beds were too soft with pillows too hard for our tastes. Everything else was nice - would easily sleep 5 or 6 people. Ladispoli is a convenient spot with pretty but dirty (like lots of Italy) beaches and easy access to central Rome and airport ( if you don’t wanna stay in Rome proper). Food was cheaper than elsewhere with some nice eating places right on the beach and fewer non-Italian tourists than other places ( so you might wanna brush up on your Italian a bit to stay here).
