Discover Romagna
A holiday in San Mauro Mare isn’t just about the sea and the beach; it’s also the perfect opportunity to discover the culture, history and authentic flavours of Romagna.
Just a few kilometres from the hotel, you’ll find medieval villages, cities of art and rich traditions. Here, your holiday will be enriched with experiences that will stay with you forever: excursions into the hinterland, cultural itineraries, authentic local cuisine and evenings of Romagna-style ballroom dancing.
Santarcangelo
Perched on a rocky outcrop of tuff, just a few kilometres from the sea, Santarcangelo is one of the most charming villages in Romagna. Its medieval old town, distinctive tuff caves and lively square, bustling with artisan shops and historic cafés, make it an unmissable stop. A stroll through its narrow streets offers unexpected views and an authentic atmosphere, far removed from mass tourism.
Longiano
A little medieval gem nestled on a gentle hill in Romagna, a short distance from the sea. The walk uphill to the 14th-century Malatesta castle is a journey of discovery. Strolling along the cobbled streets, admiring the historic theatre and exploring the art collections is an experience that delights both adults and children.
Ravenna
One of Italy’s most extraordinary cities, a UNESCO World Heritage Site thanks to the splendid Byzantine mosaics in the basilicas and mausoleums of the historic centre. Less than an hour from the hotel, it offers a journey back in time spanning over fifteen centuries. A visit to Ravenna, amidst gold, lapis lazuli and tales of Byzantine emperors, is an experience that stays with you forever.

San Marino
Perched on Mount Titano, the Republic of San Marino is the world’s oldest independent state and one of the smallest.

Cesena
An elegant and lively city on a human scale, situated along the River Savio, just a few minutes’ drive from the sea. Its most precious gem is the Malatestiana Library, the only intact humanist library in the world and recognised by UNESCO as a Memory of the World. The Visconti Castle in the upper part of the town and the historic centre, with its arcades and cafés, make it the perfect destination for a pleasant day trip.
