Dear Pam, my home will always be ready to welcome you with open arms. You’ve been a wonderful guest.
We absolutely loved our stay in this beautiful apartment. Loretta was really sweet and did everything to make sure we were as comfortable as possible. I definitely recommend staying there.
I loved Loretta’s place! It was a perfect location to take day trips to Rome, but enjoy a bit of the beach vibe on off days for relaxation! Perfect location across from Conad grocery store and just a few blocks to the beach. Loretta was so kind and helpful and went out of her way to make sure we had everything we need. She even was willing to call a taxi to take us to the airport for our next adventure.
Communication and check in was very easy. Loretta was super nice and informative. We only needed one night for a layover in Rome and gave us time to walk around an area of Italy we've never seen beore. It was easy to get taxi to and from airport.
Thank you so much for allowing us to enjoy your lovely home. We just got back to the States and loved the time we spent there. The town is lovely and your apartment is amazing!!
We did two overnight stays at Lorettas place after flying in and out of the airport. The apartment is clean and reasonably priced and Loretta is a wonderful host. Getting to the apartment, which is very close to the airport, is a bit of a maze as the roads are not direct. The ancient ruins are excellent.
The apartment was very homely and comfortable and Loretta extremely helpful as a host.
Very enjoyable stay and convenient, being close to Fuimicino airport and the beachfront for Rome.
This served us well for our short stay before our flight. It was convenient having a grocery store across the street. Short walk to nice beach area with lots of shops and restaurants. Loretta made check in very easy as well.
Loretta was endlessly accommodating and a great communicator. Her place was exactly as described and very clean and updated. The beds were comfortable and the sheets delightful. We had to rush out to catch an earlier train, so hopefully we didn’t leave a mess anywhere or leave things behind.
Loretta’s apartment was perfect for our anniversary trip. We took a taxi from the Rome airport for 75. Loretta was gracious enough to book us taxis for each tour day that started at 6am. The apartment was perfectly situated across from a grocery store and just minutes from the sea front restaurants. Thank you so much Loretta for such a memorable trip!
What a great place to stay, so close to the beach and a ton of restaurants and cafés! Loretta was truly a pleasure to talk to and her property was clean and felt like home.
Thank you Loretta!

If you want real and normal Italy culture then this is the place. A home feel with city energy. Walking distance to everything including the metro rail. Nice beaches and restaurants 5 minute walk away.

Loretta is a wonderful, gracious host who is very responsive, and can communicate in English. The apartment is as advertised, bright, clean and met our needs perfectly.
My husband and I had a wonderful stay at Loretta‘s apartment. It was very spacious and we loved the terrace. The location was good about a 10 minute walk to the beach and about 20 minutes to an area where there are lots of restaurants and bars. That’s fine for us because we enjoy walking around The area where we are staying at. My only recommendation would be to PLEASE get a new mattress for the main bedroom. We could actually feel the springs and it was very uncomfortable for both our backs. You’re future guests will thank you

Loretta is a fantastic hostess. She is very friendly and helpful. She met us at the Metro station and took us to the property. She gave us great tips on transportation options from the airport and to Rome.
From selecting the apartment to transportation instructions and meeting our Host, Loretta, everything was perfect. Loretta is a wondetful host ensuring that the apartment was cozy, comfortsble and clean. The transportation from FCO was via Cotral bus 1.50/person. Loretta meet us at the bus station and provided a ride to the apartment, she reviewed the apartment and made sure we had no questions. There is a small grocery store across the street should it be needed. Loretta made several restaurant suggestions that were delicious, all in all an excellent stay, would stay again without reservation
Bright and welcoming apartment with all the amenities of home. Great location within a short walk of the beach, grocery stores, and top notch restaurants. Loretta, our host, was a pleasure to deal with. She's warm, friendly, and caring. Our only regret is our stay was too short. Definitely plan on returning soon!!
Nice apartment close to the airport with easy parking. We didn't travel by metro to the city, but it would be a good alternative for someone wanting to escape the crowds and noise. The archeological site nearby in Ostia Antica was very interesting and our host, Loretta, was very kind.
We had an amazing experience at Loretta’s apartment! It’s just a 5 minute walk to the Mediterranean, shops. The grocery store is right across the street, which was super convenient. Ostia Lido train station is a 10
minute walk away and gets you to Rome in 30 minutes. The apartment was beautiful and super clean. Loretta was very helpful and friendly.
Loretta was amazingly helpful and met us from the airport bus to Ostia. We loved the flat, it was in a quiet neighbourhood with a supermarket across the road, the beach nearby and the train station to Rome and Ostia a 15 minute walk away. The flat was well equiped and it was just what we needed.

About the host
Hosted by Loretta Garosi
Hello, my name is Loretta. Like you, I love to travel. People who travel always have plenty to talk about and are rich in spirit, with a great desire to communicate and to be with other people. In fact, it's for this reason that I've decided to have you as guests in my house. What better way is there to be with you? I love music, photography, reading, bicycling, children (I have two even though they are not really little children any longer). I have a French husband; actually, I met him during an adventurous trip to the Sahara Desert! Who better than me can understand your traveller's needs and desires?
