Via Mestre, 18, Ardea

This is on the Tyrrhenian coast south of Rome, with sandy shoreline and the mouth area of the Fosso di Campo di Carne and other coastal watercourses nearby. The coast here is part of the low Agro Romano littoral, with flat ground, dunes in stretches, pine woods and reclaimed farmland behind the beaches. Tor Caldara Regional Nature Reserve is nearby along the coast toward Anzio. The Alban Hills rise inland to the northeast but are outside the immediate 15 km landscape. The nearest large urban centre is Rome, and the built-up coastal belt between Torvaianica, Ardea marina and Anzio is a continuous residential and holiday-settlement strip in parts. Ancient Ardea is known for its archaeological area linked to the Rutuli and early Latium.
