Back To Al Civico 7 Ostia Antica

Ciao! We hadn’t talked for a while, a very eventful period but undoubtedly full of emotions, sensations, moods and thoughts, so many thoughts, that period that don’t make you sleep at night … and maybe some of my friends from category “non-hotel accommodation” is understanding what I mean.

We need to start over and “take back everything that is ours” (quoting a fantastic line that fully resumes the course of life with all the “ups and downs”) let’s take back everything (that just for the moment) has been taken by COVID without asking any permission.

This is why we work, study, search, imagine, improve ourselves, why we think about the future, but on the other hand, with an eye, we also look back to the past and at everything that has happened and I love to recall to the many guests who have lived at Al Civico 7 those who spent just one night and those have chosen a week, whose chose us for work, whose for pleasure, for a special occasion and those who “because the last night before an intercontinental trip has to to be magical” and those who want to leave that special “feeling” to tell friends: “Damn ! How beautiful is Italy!”.

Wow-what a responsibility!

When I created “Al Civico 7” I created it with this aim clear in my mind: giving the possibility (even if just for one night) to live in an ancient house in a medieval village. The house started to realize those magical nights for Dean, Howard, Stuart, Michael, Peter, Francesca, Camilla, Federica, each of them thrilled me with written and unwritten words, gestures, courtesies, compliments that warmed my heart and my soul.

Lastly, there are also guests that come back – even in this period – because they know Al Civico 7 and they know that anything is occasional, they feel as they are at their own home and therefore live a pseudo-normality. Leaving Al Civico 7 as if it is their second home.

And then it takes your breath away when one of our guests write down one of the most exciting reviews I’ve ever read.

I would like to share the inspiring words of Emanuela describing her “Back to Al Civico 7”

“This is the story of a sentimental journey.

A journey that began last year thanks to a play called ‘Itaca’. A perfect title reaching Ostia Antica one evening in August 2019, which allowed me to discover a new point of view on Rome.

Rome is a different experience for each person: Magnificent to live, eternal when we return, and when we relive it in our memories. However, its blinding beauty often prevents us from looking further ahead.

Ostia Antica – in fact – is located 40 minutes from the center of the Capital but has a beauty of its own.

The beautifully preserved excavations are a real plunge into a glorious past. They are located in front of the village, where the castle of San Giulio stands out. An oasis of peace, mild temperatures, and breath-taking views to which it is nice to return after a day of museums and cafes.

However, we must say that the atmosphere would not be the same if Veronica were not always ready to welcome us at Al Civico 7.

I could tell you that it is an apartment, a charming residence, an impeccable jewel, but it would not be enough.

It’s home to the nth power. It’s all the comfort you can imagine, and it is so thanks to its impeccable hostess.

I don’t know which show or exhibition will call me back to Rome, but I do know that Al Civico 7 will be there waiting for me (as it also did this year and in total safety), forever being the highlight of my personal Grand Tour”

What an emotion!

Everything will work out, everything will be as before, perhaps better than before soon very soon.

Everyone has a great desire to return to travel!

Thanks and Ciao!

Veronica and Al Civico 7
