Where to stay in Ostia for sports competitions and events
Music & Art Holiday House and Book & Art Holiday House are two independent apartments in Ostia Lido, also suited to athletes, companions and families travelling for competitions: a fully equipped kitchen for pre-race meals, a washing machine for your kit, and the option of booking both apartments for a team or two families.
Comfort for athletes and companions
Both homes include a washing machine, a fully equipped kitchen in a separate room and fast fibre Wi‑Fi — handy for training, recovery and self-catering.
Each apartment has two rooms (bedroom and living room with a large sofa bed), up to 3 guests, with separate spaces when athletes and companions need privacy.
Two apartments facing each other
Music & Art and Book & Art sit in the same neighbourhood, practically opposite one another: perfect for small groups, staff or families who want to stay close with separate flats.
Book one apartment or both depending on group size and privacy needs.
Sports venues and local tradition
Ostia has a strong running, swimming and triathlon tradition, with coastal routes and fast links to Rome.
The Ostia swimming centre (Polo Natatorio, FIN Federal Centre, Via delle Quinqueremi 100), for swimming and water polo, is about 2 km from the apartments: 5 minutes by car or around 10 by bike. The PalaPellicone (FIJLKAM Olympic Centre for judo, karate and wrestling, Via dei Sandolini 79) is about 3 km away, next to Castel Fusano station: 2 Metromare (Roma‑Lido) stops from Lido Centro, or about 10 minutes by car.
