Riccione is a seaside town, with a wonderful promenade and trendy bars: a summer holiday destination much loved by Italians.
The Hotel Dory is right in the centre of Riccione, just a stone’s throw from the sea, but you need only venture a few kilometres inland to find yourself amidst golden hills and Renaissance fortresses that dominate entire valleys, bearing witness to a history of battles, love and poetry.
This history blends with a scenic beauty that is at its most splendid in spring and autumn.
Here are some villages, landscapes and castles you can see on your excursions.
