La Casa Sul Mare

This is the absolute best place to stay in civitavecchia. Loris and Amber make you feel like family from the moment you walk in. They were so helpful with recommendations, or with anything we needed in our room. Can’t wait to come back!!

Loris and Ambra were amazing host for our one night stay prior to a cruise out of Civitavecchia. The rooms were clean and we had a beautiful balcony with a view of the Ocean. Breakfast was also delicious, Ambra did a great jobs pampering us while we were there. Both Loris and Ambra were very helpful when it came to navigating the town. Loris recommended a great restaurant where we had an amazing dinner by the Ocean. I would love to visit again and reconnect with Loris and Ambra! If you are Citavecchia, THIS IS THE PLACE TO STAY!

We stayed in this gem by the sea for one night prior to a cruise. Every single detail was perfection. We were made to feel like royalty while at the same time, family. The ambiance is warm and friendly. The room is spotless and cozy. Every room has a sea view. The shared space offers an abundance of amenities including all day snacks available, tea, coffee, espresso, cappuccino, still and sparkling water. For a small fee there are soft drinks, beer and wine available. The hosts are delightful. Loris, the owner and Ambra, his associate offer top notch service. They are quick to help. They offer wonderful recommendations for local restaurants and sightseeing. They clearly love their small city by the sea and they share their love through this delightful B and B. I do certainly hope my travels bring me back to the wonderful La Casa Sul Mare one day again. Thank you Loris and Ambra for a wonderful visit. We hope our paths cross again.

Greatest care and attention to detail. If you want a true Italian experience come here. Taken care of with excellence. Space is very comfortable and well tended.

From the time I made my booking to leaving La Casa sul Mare, nothing was too much trouble, we stayed the night before going on a cruise. The B&B is perfect, very clean, perfect continental breakfast, which we had on our bedroom balcony which was a real treat. The B&B is so close to the port, they kindly arranged a taxi beforehand too. I would not hesitate to book again if I was sailing from Civitavecchia again.

Where to start …. ? I read many of the existing reviews on trip advisor and I thought this may be too good to be true … on the contrary!!!! My wife and I needed a place to stay before our cruise and we stayed for one night in room #1 with a beautiful balcony facing the water and the city below. We arrived early (private transportation arrangements we made with our hotel booking 140 euros) and we were met by Loris at the curbside with a warm greeting and he insisted to carry our bags for us (he took the stairs and he sent us up the elevator). When the elevator doors opened Ambra was there smiling and gave us a great tour of the common space and our bedroom. After a quick clothing change we went for a walk (trying to stay awake from jet lag!). The location is perfect and you can walk along the (rocky) beach and in the town center itself. There are so many options of outdoor quaint restaurants to choose from (seriously! So many!). We chose one with a view of the water and a great sea breeze about less than 5 minute walk from our new home for the day. We arrived back at our room for official check in (at 3 pm - note you can check in “early” if you care to for a 50 euro fee - we actually did not do that but they did give us access to our room to freshen up and store our belongings including our passports in the room safe). Once back in our room we sat and watched the city activities below us and relaxed (which is exactly what we wanted for today). In the early evening we visited the common space and asked Loris for his recommendations for a bottle of wine. We were given a “tour” of wine country by Loris and after we chose a bottle (they are all 25 euros at the honor bar - you can also get beer and pop if you want). After we picked out our wine Ambra insisted we go back to our balcony and she would prepare it and bring it to us. She brought us a nice spread of wine chips, bread and strawberries. It was so nice and we really felt like we were staying as friends in their home. We went to bed early (jet lag!) - but I need to mention the room has push button automatic black out shades (YES!!!!!). We woke up in the middle of the night with a snack attack and we raided the guest fridge with yogurt and granola and fruit. In the morning Ambra prepared a wonderful breakfast and we really enjoyed it. Loris made arrangements for our private transport to our ship (note: you really can walk if you want to but I didn’t want to fuss with our luggage etc - the cost for our transfer was 15 euros each). All I can say is we LOVED our stay. Everything about this place is warm, friendly and inviting ( - and also so clean!). Honestly, you can not go wrong here. We would stay here again in a heartbeat!
