The Property — Golf
The Hotel Golf leans into mid-century practicality: a clean, tiled lobby with a reception desk that smells of floor polish and espresso. The USP is location — a short, flat walk from Rimini’s central beach strip and the historic Arch of Augustus — and a straightforward three-star deal: simple rooms, a buffet breakfast with decent pastries, and a bar that does a passable Negroni. It suits independent travellers or couples who want a quiet, no-fuss base for a beach-and-old-town break, not families needing a mini-club.
Chronicles of Rimini
Rimini began as the Roman colony Ariminum in 268 BC, a strategic crossroads on the Via Flaminia and Via Emilia. Its surviving Roman monuments — the Arch of Augustus and the Tiberius Bridge — still anchor the historic centre. After the fall of Rome, the city was ruled by the Malatesta family, who built the Tempio Malatestiano, a cathedral that blends Gothic and Renaissance architecture. By the 20th century, Rimini reinvented itself as Europe’s largest beach resort, a stretch of sand, bars and nightclubs that defines the postwar Italian holiday. Today, the city juggles its ancient pedigree with a hedonistic, sun-and-sea identity that draws millions every summer.
Best Time to Visit
Full Rimini guide →Best months
June and September: warm sea (22-24°C), long daylight, and the main crush of August crowds thins. May is also good but the water can be brisk.
Peak / festival surge
July and August are peak season, driven by summer school holidays across Italy and Europe, plus the Notte Rosa (Pink Night) festival in early July. Hotel prices double or triple, and beach beds sell out fast.
Budget shoulder season
Late May and September offer 25%+ discounts on room rates, still pleasant weather (22-28°C), and far fewer people on the sands and in the gelato queues.
Weather & packing
Summers in Rimini are humid with occasional afternoon thunderstorms. Pack a light rain jacket or umbrella, and always bring a sunhat and high-factor sunscreen — the exposure on the beach is relentless.
Live City Briefing — Rimini
- Rimini railway station is undergoing platform upgrades until late 2026; check your departure screen as some services depart from temporary bays.
- The new 'Marina Centro' seafront pedestrian area opened in May 2025, linking the port to Piazza Boscovich with smoother paving and more seating.
- Beach permit fees for 2026 have risen by about 3%; expect to pay around €20-30 per day for a front-row umbrella and two loungers in July.
Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Golf, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request a high floor room at the back of the hotel, facing away from the street. The top floor (if the hotel has 4+ floors) offers the most quiet and a better chance of a sea glimpse, given Rimini's coastal layout.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid rooms on the first or second floor directly facing the street. Rimini's main roads can be busy with traffic and scooters, and low floors get noise from the lobby, bar, and street activity.
Best views
If the hotel is on a main road, the best view is from upper floors at the front — you might see rooftops and the sea in the distance. But for most guests, a quieter back-facing room is a better trade-off.
Quietest floors
Floors 3 and above, especially rooms at the rear or side away from the main road.
🔊 Noise notes
Rimini's main streets (like Viale Regina Margherita or Viale Amerigo Vespucci) have constant traffic, scooters, and sometimes late-night pedestrian noise. A back room avoids most of this. Also check if there's a nightclub or pizzeria nearby — common in Rimini's centre.
Insider tips
If you arrive by car, ask for parking on arrival — many 3-star hotels in Rimini have limited spaces. At check-in, request a top-floor back room if you prefer quiet. Also, ask for a room key card that works in the lift if it requires one.
- Call the hotel directly 24–48 hours before arrival and ask for a specific room type
- Add a note in your booking comments field
- Ask at check-in — front desk staff can often accommodate if a room is available

Top Attractions in Rimini
💡 Sit on the steps of the clock tower at sunset – the light hits the old buildings perfectly. The square is also where the weekly market sets up on Wednesday and Saturday mornings.
💡 Go on a weekday morning to avoid wedding parties blocking the nave – they often book the church for ceremonies. Check the side chapels for the best art.
💡 Cross the road to the little traffic island in front of it for the best photo angle without cars. Go at dusk when the arch is lit up – it's far more dramatic than in full sun.
💡 Walk to the far end near the riverbank – fewer tourists go there, and you'll find old plane trees and a quieter spot for a picnic. There's a free public fitness station by the basketball court.
💡 Entry costs €6, but it's free on the first Sunday of each month. The museum has a small rooftop terrace with views over the old town – ask staff to unlock it.
