We have an opportunity to stay in Mandela or Anzio in March. Does anyone know which area would be easier to use as a home base for exploring Rome? Either on significantly "nicer" than the other?
Not familiar with Mandela but I passed through Anzio very frequently while living in Italy (I lived in Latina). I would go with Anzio with it being on the coast. Cozy little seaside town, not as congested as Ostia, plenty of restaurants and shopping available. I'm not 100% sure if the city has a train station or not but Aprilia and Pomezia definitely do. Enjoy your trip.
"Anzio is connected to Rome by the Via Nettunense (SS207), the Via Ardeatina (SS601) and by the Roma-Nettuno railroad that stops in the stations of Lavinio, Villa Claudia, Marechiaro, Anzio Colonia and Anzio".

Any opinions are welcome!
Anzio and Mandela aren't close to Rome: even though they are part of its metropolitan area... As far as Rome is concerned, I suppose you're interested in the historical center: from Anzio and Mandela it's more than 1 hour... during the rush hour it's up to 2 hours... not a big deal, if you ask me
Anyway, both them aren't exactly beautiful towns: along Rome's coastline, Sperlonga is the only nice town.

Anzio to Rome takes 1-2 hours? Walking? Granted I'm a speed demon but I could drive from Testaccio/Trastevere back to Latina every evening in under an hour.

Also, San Felice Circeo > Sperlonga IMHO.
Under an hour?
Really?
You MUST be a speed demon
Alos, even during the rush hour?
