Lovely hotel near the beach a few steps away .Private beach sunbeds quite expensive with 20% of still 30 euros a day for 2 beds which you can book for the whole week if you want Rooms furnished well with all you need kept exceptionally clean by the cleaners A bit noisey in the morning as dustcarts come quite early we choose a side room in future i will go direct to the hotel re rooms . Reception staff excellent and the boss couldn't have been more helpful with all my questions she dealt with everything i asked about as my first time to the area Long promenade that you could walk into Cervia about 20mins or the hotel rented cycles with restaurents and bars on the beach along the way . Easy to find your way around as streets tended to be grids so easy to find your way to the restaurents in the area which were reasonable priced and we didint have a bad meal all week superb WE had bed and breakfast and if you cant find something you like to eat then must be beyond fussy as catered for everyone nothing to much trouble Will definately go there again Thank you for a lovely hotel
