A region embracing everything you love
Explore the surrounding area and discover what to do and see in Bellaria-Igea Marina
There's a Romagna you won't find in the guidebooks. It's made up of voices greeting you on the street, squares that fill up at sunset, and the aromas of cooking wafting from homes. It’s a land with a big heart, one that lets you wander through it slowly, welcoming you without expecting too much, and whose streets always seem to know where to lead you. At Hotel Flora, you're already immersed in this experience, waking up by the sea, finding yourself in a medieval square, an open-air museum, or a tranquil vineyard. And you don't have to choose between relaxation and discovery: here, you can effortlessly have both.
From Igea Marina: everything you're looking for is just a stone's throw away
Igea Marina offers simple pleasures that work well: a well-kept beach, a safe seafront promenade, and a square that fills up every evening. Here, everything is close by, easy to reach, and has that magic touch of comfort. Maybe it’s the light drifting in from the sea, or the quiet streets that invite you to slow down. Whatever it is, one thing is certain: the atmosphere feels just right, it stays with you and makes you want to return.
Visiting Rimini
Rimini is only 12 km from Hotel Flora, a lively city where you can soak up different eras. The Roman era, with the Arch of Augustus, the Tiberius Bridge and the Surgeon's House. Or Fellini's Rimini, revealed in the colourful alleys of Borgo San Giuliano, with its poetic murals, charming shops and waterside trattorias. Not to mention the more modern area, for a mix of shopping, theme parks and culture.

Cesenatico boasts a spontaneous elegance: it's the reflection of boats on the Canal Harbour, it's a perfect view around the corner, it's markets that light up in the evening, among streets that have the scent of the sea. Designed by Leonardo da Vinci, you can explore the heart of the city on foot, looking around with curiosity, or by bike.
