Bellaria
What to do within walking distance of the hotel
A small seaside town where you can find everything you could want as soon as you walk out of our hotel. In addition to the beach located right in front of Hotel Aurea, you have so much to choose from.
A lovely town center featuring a long tree-lined avenue, Isola dei Platani, full of typical little stores where you can go shopping in the evening, or where you can try local delicacies. There are plenty of bakeries open 24 hours a day where you can relish hot Romagna cream puffs at all hours, a real treat as a midnight snack before heading back to the hotel (we speak from experience!!).
For a different afternoon, we recommend a ride along the seafront in a rickshaw or up to Parco del Gelso, a green oasis around the eponymous small lake where there are games for children and several areas to relax, read a good book.
And to end the evening on a high note, take your kids to the Summer Park in Bellaria, the largest funfair on the Romagna Riviera! Open every summer evening with attractions suitable for all ages such as: the spinning coaster, the big Flume Ride, fun houses and the Super Ropo Burlone roller coaster.

Hinterland
Inland excursions and medieval villages
A hinterland full of small medieval villages, some of the most beautiful in Italy, which can also be visited with a half-day trip or in the evening. These places, which retain the charm of ancient times, can be easily reached with no more than an hour's drive.
Santarcangelo di Romagna, a real gem of the hinterland of Romagna. The birthplace of poet Tonino Guerra, it has a wealth of Tuff Caves, all worth visiting. This small town features many places perfect for tasty aperitifs and small stores where you can buy local products.
Verucchio, birthplace of the Malatesta family and hub of the ancient Villanovan civilization, where you cannot pass up a visit to the village and its fortress.
Not to be missed is the village of San Leo, with its imposing castle, where the famous alchemist Cagliostro was also imprisoned. Finally, the Republic of San Marino. Its medieval old town, which stands atop Mount Titano, is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The many stores offer a unique opportunity for leisure and shopping!
If you love to be active, the shared-use path that runs along the Marecchia River from Rimini to Novafeltria is an opportunity to combine physical activity with the discovery of the wonders of the Romagna region.
