Lovely hotel in Cervia. We were there for 6 nights for the annual Ironman competition in Cervia. The hotel entrance is stunning with marble and glass. It is across the street from the beach with easy access to the multiple beach resorts. The staff is most welcoming and bi-lingual. The rooms are on the small side but this is the normal standard for Italy. Location is a bit of work as the train station is about 1.3 miles from the hotel and you either need to take a taxi or walk (30mins). The food is outstanding. The breakfast buffet is great with coffees, juices, Prosecco, dozens of types of pastries/breads, lots of fruits, yogurts and several hot items. If you get the half board which includes dinner this is an amazing deal (normally 38€ per person). The dinner includes a hot/cold appetizer salad bar, and 1st and 2nd entree and a dessert bar. Beware as the food is very good and we overate every night! The wait staff was terrific and knew every night to bring me a glass of red wine with my dinner. If we return to Cervia this is a must stay!

“Great stay!”

Well-sized rooms with a balcony facing the beach, well-cleaned, and good comfortable beds. What I would say stands out is the great meals, lunch, and dinner were fantastic during our conference.

Well-sized rooms with a balcony facing the beach, well-cleaned, and good comfortable beds. What I would say stands out is the great meals, lunch, and dinner were fantastic during our conference. The view from the restaurant was excellent! Also a nice bar, but maybe too few varieties of beers. The terrasse at the entrance was great for both prosecco and coffee. Just across the street are some more great restaurants, worth mentioning is Saretina 152 which is open a little longer.

“Lovely hotel but WiFi was troublesome”

Great location opposite the beach but I was here on business and the late night noisy music meant that I had to ask to change to a room at the back of the hotel.

Great location opposite the beach but I was here on business and the late night noisy music meant that I had to ask to change to a room at the back of the hotel. The rooms are very clean and the staff very helpful but the WiFi sign in system didn't work on any of my devices and this was a big problem. Ok if you are on holiday but for work it caused difficulties. The breakfast is good, although the eggs are cold, even in the covered dish. The lunch and dinner are excellent value and quality and I recommend eating in. The hotel is stylish and comfortable and the covered, heated swimming pool excellent. The mattresses are quite hard, in my opinion, but I slept ok.

Lovely hotel with a beautiful lobby and view. Staff were all eager to please . Hotel was spotless. Rooms a little on the small side and he bed very hard. Language was not to difficult. Everyone tried there best...it was fun ! Lots to see in this area , especially the mosaic's (the best in the world ). Felt very safe walking around at anytime of the day or night. The beach is directly in front of the hotel and has a lot of vendors. Lots in walking distance and easy to navigate. Lots of restaurants and shops in area , also a laundromat a few streets away. Fantastic place to go. A definite one to g back to.
