Ciao,
Ive just been based in CIA. Where do most pilots based in CIA live? where can one commute fairly easily from? Will i need a car? Central Rome or too the south of the airport? I do not speak italien (yet!) so please try to keep the answers either in English (or Swedish) ;)
cheers

Ciao eahlund,
I am not yet a pilot :) but I think I can give you some advices since I live in that area. If you have a car everything will be easier of course (meaning to commute from any neighborhood around or in rome), but I would still suggest you to live in the east, south east external boundaries of the GRA (which his the highway rink around rome) in order not to waste time stuck in some traffic jam (and they happen all the time). If you are not planning to get a car then, you can think of any neighborhood which is near the railway station which gets to ciampino (though if you love nature and quiet places I'd suggest you to go a bit further outside rome like frascati, colonna, valmontone, which are all small towns but with a lot of fresh air and peace :) and cheaper than rome for rent and food.
Let me know if you need some more details

thank you all for the help and especially thanks for the china restuarant recommendation, hate cooking anyways ;)
My college and I who both got Ciampino are looking in the region south southeast of the airport near the popes summerbungalow. ;)
anyone have any contacts there that might have a nice 3-4 bedroom apartment for rent?
As you guys I'm trying to find and apartment at CIA area because I'm going to start there, at the latest, next month. I will let you know if I find sthg.
I think It'd be a good idea to keep in touch, eh? I do like chinese food, too :rolleyes:
