B&B Rifugio San Francesco is an entirely non-smoking guest house located in Lido di Ostia, just 300 meters from the beach and about 9 km from Rome Fiumicino Airport.
The property offers a small number of rooms, carefully finished and designed for both couples and small groups. All rooms have a private bathroom with shower or bathtub, hairdryer, desk, wardrobe and flat-screen TV, along with free WiFi included at no extra cost. Some rooms also feature a balcony, a detail appreciated by those looking for an extra view during their stay by the sea.
The location, just steps from the seafront and local venues, is one of the highlights reported by guests, with a dedicated score of 8.5. Nearby you’ll find bars, restaurants and Lido Centro station less than 2 km away, convenient for reaching central Rome or visiting the Ostia Antica excavations. A practical choice for those wishing to combine the seaside with proximity to the capital, without giving up a family-run, entirely non-smoking environment.
The rooms at B&B Rifugio San Francesco share some common features: private bathroom with shower or bathtub and hairdryer, flat-screen TV, desk, wardrobe and free WiFi connection, along with tiled or marble flooring and heating throughout the property, which is entirely non-smoking.
The range includes two main room types, both compact but functional: a double room with two single beds, designed for those traveling together or for small groups of up to three people, and a double room with balcony, more suited to couples looking for an outside view. Both options include a bathtub, a feature not always found in this type of property, and can accommodate up to three people counting any extra beds available on request.
This is the largest room in the property, with 14 sq m of space and two single beds, ideal for couples who prefer not to share the same bed or for two friends on holiday. It has its own balcony, not featured in the other room type, and an en-suite bathroom with bathtub. It also suits stays with a third guest thanks to its maximum capacity of three people.
Designed for couples, this double room is slightly smaller than the Twin Room with Private Bathroom but stands out for its private balcony and its full bathroom with bathtub, shower and bidet. The large double bed is the only one of its kind among the available room types, making it the best choice for those seeking a romantic setting just steps from the sea.

B&B Rifugio San Francesco is located on Via Della Santabarbara, in the heart of Lido di Ostia, the busiest seaside area of the Roman coast. The surrounding neighborhood is residential and lively, with bars and small restaurants just steps away: La Fraschetta di Ponente and the venue Aneme e Core are about 100-200 meters away, while Sport Bar and King Bar are a few minutes’ walk. Ostia Lido beach is just 300 meters from the property’s entrance, making the area particularly convenient for those seeking a seaside stay without needing a car.
For those arriving from outside, Lido Centro station is about 1.7 km away, while Rome Fiumicino Airport is just 9 km away, an uncommon advantage for a seaside property. Central Rome is also connected via the Roma-Lido railway line, with the EUR Fermi and EUR Magliana metro stations about 21-23 km away. The Idrovolante/Duca degli Abruzzi and Idrovolante/Pedretti bus stops are less than 100 meters away, useful for getting around along the coast.
During the summer months, the area comes alive with beach life, beach clubs and seafront walks, while in the low season a quieter atmosphere prevails, ideal for visiting the archaeological excavations of Ostia Antica, about 3.9 km away, or strolling through the Castel Fusano pine forest, not far from the property. The Village urban park, 400 meters away, is another option for an evening walk in the area.
Guests especially praise the cleanliness (8.7) and free WiFi (9.2), as well as staff helpfulness (8.5). Value for money, at 7.4, remains the most modest score, but the seaside location convinces most travelers.
