2 - SAN MAURO MARE
I don't know San Mauro Mare, is it a quiet place?
San Mauro Mare is a small seaside resort in the heart of Romagna. The atmosphere is relaxed and quiet. It is perfect for families with children and for guests who want to relax. 
As it is a small town everything is within easy reach on foot from any part of the town you are staying in. There is little traffic, and there aren't any noisy clubs and pubs at night.
 
 
Where does the town life take place?
During the daytime definitely on the central beach, of the “Grandi spiagge” (The Great Beaches) the largest and best equipped one. In the evening the entertainment (San Mauro Mare Village) takes place in Piazza Battisti (200 m from our Hotel), at Parco Campana (50 m) or at Parco Benelli (150 m).
 
What are the closest towns?
Towards the south lies the centre of Bellaria, which is about 3 km away, and is easy to reach by bicycle or bus (Line no. 4). Towards the north Gatteo Mare is about 2 km away, and is easy to reach on foot or by bicycle by crossing the Gulio Cesare pedestrian bridge. Rimini is 12 southwards.

We often have guests who are caeliac sufferers or intolerant to gluten and our chef and kitchen are perfectly able to manage gluten-free dishes, which are made separately with all the necessary precautions. With regard to caeliac sufferers as far as we can, we try to serve the same dishes that are on the menu but adapted with gluten-free ingredients (for example we use gluten-free pasta for our first courses, and gluten-free flour and bread when we use breadcrumbs and fry food etc.). For breakfast we have gluten-free bread, biscuits, and croissants. We do not make the gluten-free products we use but they are certified “gluten free”. Please inform us of your condition when you book.

Yes, that's no problem, however, it is still likely that you will have to vacate your room by 10 am (according to availability).

Hmmm.... actually it's a secret... but if you go into the kitchen she will be pleased to give you some advice :)

You can choose the beach you prefer from the ones that are part of the “Grandi Spiagge” consortium which comprises: Bagno Royal, Bagno Berto, Bagno Sergio and Neri, Bagno Adolfo, Bagno Ermes (and Fido Beach). The services at these beaches are in common so when you choose one of them you can also use the services of the other beaches that are part of the consortium.

What row will my beach umbrella be in (All Inclusive)?
The price of your All Inclusive formula includes a beach umbrella and sun beds starting from the third row back. For the first 2 rows there is a supplement to pay directly to the beach attendant. If requested we can contact the beach attendant for you, get the quotation, and book the first rows (it is advisable to book the first rows).
7 - TRANSPORT
Which motorway junction is the closest to you?
On the Motorway A14, coming from the north, the closest motorway junction is “Valle del Rubicone”. If you are coming from the south on the A14 you should exit at “Rimini Nord”.

Do you have a car park?
You can park your car free of charge in the courtyard of our Hotel. Most of the parking spaces are not covered. We have a limited number of covered spaces that are available on a first come first served basis (they can't be booked). Parking spaces are available for all our guests.

Which railway station is the closest?
The closest station is the one in Bellaria, which is 3 km away. The one in Rimini is 12 km away but trains are much more frequent. From the station in Bellaria and from the one in Rimini you can reach our hotel with Bus no. 4. The terminuses of bus no. 4 are the stations of Rimini and San Mauro Mare. The San Mauro Mare stop is 50 m from our Hotel.  During the daytime in summer there are buses every 15 minutes (and a number of buses at night) It takes about 45 minutes to get to Rimini by bus from San Mauro Mare (and vice versa). From the Rimini station it is easy to take bus no. 4 as the stop is right opposite the railway station. From Bellaria the bus stop is not very close, we thus advise you to take a taxi as the trip is short (right outside the stations of Bellaria and Rimini there is always a taxi available).

Can I arrive / leave by car on Monday morning when there is the street market?
Starting from the 2019 summer season it will be possible to check-in and check-out on Monday morning without
the inconvenience caused by the weekly street market. The area of the weekly market, that surrounded our Hotel, was officially moved to another area by the municipal administration (new zone is along: "Via Lido Rubicone").
Entering and leaving with the car on Monday morning is no longer a problem.

Can you book a Taxi for me to/from the railway station or the airport?
We can get a quotation for you and book a Taxi to the destination you request. If it is to the airports in Rimini or Bologna please give us your flight number.
