About the Local Area

A row of old, unfurled sails along the Porto Canale separates the city in two and runs all the way to the open sea. It is surrounded by a picturesque old fishing village, which still retains its colourful houses and the warm, welcoming and smiling spirit of its inhabitants.

Cesenatico is a small artistic town in the heart of the Riviera Romagnola: a place where the warmth of ancient traditions embraces the freshness of continuous urban buzz.

So a trip to Cesenatico is not just a simple holiday, but rather the best gift you can give yourself, that of immersing yourself for a while in this Romagna town dedicated to living well.
