Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Molino Rosso, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request a room on a higher floor (5th or 6th) to minimize potential noise from the Via Provinciale Selice road. These floors are likely to be quieter due to the hotel's layout, which typically has the rooms on the upper floors farthest from the street.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid rooms on the lower floors (1st-3rd) as they may be closer to the street and potentially more prone to noise from passing traffic.
Best views
Unfortunately, the hotel's address and orientation do not provide a clear indication of a preferred view. However, rooms on the higher floors (5th or 6th) may offer a view of the surrounding countryside.
Quietest floors
The 5th and 6th floors are likely the quietest, given the hotel's layout and address.
🔊 Noise notes
The Via Provinciale Selice road is a relatively busy road, so rooms on lower floors may experience some noise from traffic. Additionally, the hotel's lift may be a source of noise, particularly if it's located near a room.

Top Attractions in Imola
💡 Go on a Saturday morning when the weekly market fills the square. Late afternoon, the light hits the brickwork of the palazzo perfectly.
💡 Free access to the walkways ends at sundown. Go just before closing for golden light and fewer people.
💡 Ask at the ticket desk if the chiostro piccolo (small cloister) is open – it's often overlooked and has fresco fragments.
💡 Bring an empty bottle and fill up at the Fontana della Salute – locals swear by the water. Avoid after rain; the paths get muddy.
💡 Weekday mornings are quietest. Walk to the back straight near the Variante Alta corner for the best view over the fence.
