Gradara is definitely worth tours and excursions to discover the castle and the town that is just 15 km from Riccione and will welcome you with its wonderful fortified town, with medieval structures still perfectly preserved. Today is indeed one of the most visited destinations in the hinterland of Romagna, thanks to its proximity to the sea.
The main attraction is the Gradara Castle, a medieval fortress overlooking the entire valley, built in 1150 and later passed into the hands of the Malatesta family. Here there is also an elegant interior courtyard and very well kept interior spaces, today converted into theater for major events that take place in the area.
We Stayed here for the first two weeks in June, after a nightmare journey of missed flights and14hrs travelling with three young children we were greeted kind affection & courtesy. Nothing was too much trouble & dinner was provided even though the restuarant had closed half a hour before. The following two weeks continued as this, every member of the team greet you with a smile & cannot do enough to help, Nicole, Simone Vito, Gratziella & the whole team you are all amazing & it feels as though we have left family behind.
The Hotel is spotlessly clean and the location perfect for the beach, Food in the restuarant was really very good so much so we prefered eating in there.
Thank you all for such a wonderful time - we will return
