Other things to note
There is a bus stop in front of the house, but it is strongly recommended that you reach us with your own car so that you can easily move from the villa to the destinations listed above.
Keep in mind that the house is located along the Via Aurelia therefore, as with all the houses that are located on the seafront, from time to time you can hear the noise of cars or trains.
The location of the villa allows you to spend a holiday in direct contact with the sea without having to use the car every time you want to reach a beach. The car is necessary for shopping, going to restaurants, reaching other tourist locations.
A long staircase leads directly to the sea where a private terrace has been created.
Attention: The roof terrace is accessible but with caution because it has no railing. This terrace will be made available only if there are no children in the group.
Due to the presence of the various terraces and stairs (to access both the villa and the terraces and the private beach), the property may not be suitable for people with walking difficulties and families with small children.
Finally, the villa is located close to the road and the garden is not entirely fenced, therefore it is necessary to pay close attention to families with children.
