8.4/10 Very good! (356 reviews)
Beautiful hotel and definitely one of the nicest in Rimini. We had a small misunderstanding with Expedia, which was not the hotel’s fault .
The hotel has such a wonderful old-world charm. You really feel like you’ve stepped back into the 1930s. The grounds are beautiful, and there’s an elegant, almost grand feeling throughout the property.
