What guests report

View

Valley and countryside views from select rooms; rural setting offers nature views rather than city vistas

Bed & mattress

Comfortable mattresses and pillows; two pillow types available to suit guest preference

Bathroom & water

Spacious showers with rainfall showerheads and strong water pressure; complimentary toiletries provided; one review noted shared bathrooms in some rooms

Wi-Fi

Available and functional; not mentioned as a standout feature or problem

Breakfast

Exceptional homemade pastries, cakes, biscuits, fresh fruit, yogurt, cereals, cold cuts, and hot beverages; optional savory selections if requested; widely praised as highlight of stay

AC / heating

Efficient and silent in most rooms; one older review mentioned insufficient cooling capacity

Local knowledge

Request a room with valley views if available—several guests specifically praised the panoramic vistas from bedroom windows.

If you prefer savory breakfasts, inform staff in advance so Federica can prepare eggs and cured meats instead of sweets.

Bring a car: the property is in rural countryside 10–15 km from Rimini center, not walkable for dining or attractions.
