By public transport
From Rome it is the Metromare line to Ostia, then a short walk. Tap a route and the map shows the connections and the times.
Sea-view apartments · Ostia Lido, Rome
The sea of Rome, half an hour from the Colosseum.
Shogun Lungomare and Shogun Porto: two independent apartments in Ostia, run by the family that owns them. Book direct and skip the platform fees.
Direct rate
No platform commission on top: what you pay is what reaches us.
You talk to us
No call centre. The person who answers is the person with the keys.
Set times
Check-in 2–6 pm at Lungomare, 3–6 pm at Porto; check-out by 11 am. Always tell us your arrival time at least three hours ahead.
Two houses, one host
A few minutes apart — take both when you travel as a group.
The houses
Same sea, two different ways to be there.
One faces the seafront promenade with the beach across the road. The other looks over the marina from a wide terrace. Both are whole apartments, yours alone.
Facing the beach
Shogun Lungomare
Classic, bright, a step from the sand. The balcony looks straight onto the promenade and the water; the beach is across the road.
Up to 4 guests
1 bedroom
Sea-view balcony
Terrace over the marina
Shogun Porto
Recent, quiet, with a terrace big enough to eat outside every night — masts on one side, open sea on the other.
Up to 4 guests
1 bedroom

House one · Facing the beach
Shogun Lungomare Beachfront apartment in Ostia Lido, with a balcony over the beach
Lungomare Duca degli Abruzzi 42 — the balcony looks over the promenade and the breakwaters. You cross the road and you are on the sand.
A classic seaside apartment, kept the way you would keep your own: a double bedroom, a living room with a dining table and sofa bed, a proper kitchen and a bathroom with a washing machine. Air conditioning throughout, a smart TV with Netflix, a coffee machine for the morning.
What makes it is the position. The Ostia promenade is right outside — beach clubs and free beach, bars, the pier — and in the evening the sun goes down straight ahead of the balcony.

House two · Terrace over the marina
Shogun Porto Apartment with a terrace over the Marina of Rome, in Ostia Lido
Largo del Porto di Roma 31 — inside the marina complex, with a terrace that runs along the whole apartment and looks over the boats and the sea.
Recently renovated and deliberately plain: pale wood, white walls, everything where you expect it. A double bedroom with its own window onto the terrace, an open living room with dining table and sofa bed, a kitchen with dishwasher, microwave and washing machine, one bathroom with a large shower.
The terrace is the reason to choose this one. It is furnished for dinner outside, it catches the light until late, and below it the marina fills up with boats and restaurants in the evening.
The flat is inside a four-star residence: a glass-roofed atrium, an inner courtyard with gazebos, staff on site every day. It is not an ordinary apartment block, and you can tell.

Assembled from the photos on this page. A filmed walkthrough is on its way.
The apartment, and the Ostia around it — sunsets and beach are a few minutes away.
Around
Rome without staying in Rome.
Ostia is the sea of Rome: the city is a train ride away, the airport is closer still, and the Roman ruins of Ostia Antica are round the corner. Times below are indicative.
2'
The beach
Dark sand, breakwaters, beach clubs and free stretches along the whole promenade.
5'
Marina of Rome
Restaurants, bars and moorings — the evening walk of Ostia.
15'
Ostia Antica
One of the best preserved Roman towns in Italy, and far quieter than Pompeii.
20'
Fiumicino airport
By car — useful for an early flight or a late landing.
35'
Rome, Piramide
The Metromare line runs from Ostia to Piramide, on metro line B.
Scroll sideways — all photos taken from the houses or a few steps away.
Parking
Free on-street parking at both houses — no permit, no meter, no garage fee.
Electric car
Charging points within 100 m of both houses — Enel, Eni and Acea columns with standard Type 2 sockets, in roaming with most other networks.
Getting around
Bike and scooter sharing racks on the seafront and at the marina — the easiest way to move along the coast.
Getting here
Three ways to reach us.
From the airport, from Rome, or from wherever you are right now. Pick your house and tap: the map does the rest, with live times.
Check-in is 2–6 pm at Lungomare and 3–6 pm at Porto. Check-out is by 11 am. Work backwards from that when you book flights and trains. Always tell us your arrival time at least three hours ahead, even within those hours: someone has to be there with the keys. Outside them we can arrange it, with the same notice.
Your house:
By car
Free on-street parking in front of both houses — no permit, no meter. EV charging within 100 m.
Taxi
Taxis wait at the airport rank, no booking needed.
Worth knowing: Rome's fixed airport fares only cover the historic centre. Ostia is outside that zone, so the meter applies — make sure it is running from the start, and do not accept a flat price agreed in advance.
For the airport run, in both directions, the Ostia radio taxi is usually cheaper than a cab caught in Rome: +39 06 5601646. Ask the price on the phone when you call, and you can book ahead for your departure. The call is yours to make — we do not book taxis or private drivers for guests.
Practical
What our guests always ask us.
Where to buy groceries, where we go to eat, how to reach Rome. The answers we give on WhatsApp every week, written down once.

Train and day trips
The Metromare line runs from Ostia to Piramide, where you change onto metro line B. Tap a route and the map shows the nearest station, the times and the walk to get there.

Fiumicino is a short drive away — useful for an early flight or a late landing. Tell us your times and we will sort out the keys.
The beach
Free stretches of sand and beach clubs with sunbeds and umbrellas, all along the promenade. Ask us which ones we like — it changes from year to year.
Moving around
Bike and scooter sharing racks on the seafront and at the marina, free on-street parking at both houses, and EV charging points within 100 m.

Booking
Ask us directly.
Tell us the dates and which house you have in mind. We answer with availability and the direct rate — no commission on top.
How it works
No automatic calendar, no card details typed into a website: you write to us and a person answers.
- You send the dates — from the form, by email or on WhatsApp.
- We reply the same day with availability and the direct rate.
- You confirm, and we agree on how to pay — no platform commission on top.
- We fix the arrival time together: check-in is 2–6 pm at Lungomare and 3–6 pm at Porto, check-out by 11 am. Whatever the time, we need to know it at least three hours ahead — someone has to be there with the keys. A time outside those hours can be arranged, with the same notice.
