The Property — Modenese
The Modenese is a compact, family-run 3-star on Rimini's central Viale Regina Elena, two blocks from the beach. The lobby is clean and functional with tiled floors, a small bar and the faint smell of espresso and beach towels. It suits couples or solo travellers who want something central, affordable and no-nonsense — you get a decent buffet breakfast, free bike hire and staff who know local bus timetables by heart. You're not here for the hotel; you're here for a day on the sand and a plate of piadina nearby.
Chronicles of Rimini
Rimini began as the Roman colony Ariminum in 268 BCE, built at the junction of the Via Flaminia and Via Emilia. Its most visible Roman relic is the Arch of Augustus (27 BCE) and the Tiberius Bridge, completed under Augustus. After the fall of Rome, the city became a fierce medieval commune, then fell under the Malatesta family who rebuilt the Tempio Malatestiano in the mid-1400s. In the 20th century, Rimini reinvented itself as Italy's biggest beach resort, with three miles of sand and a nightlife strip that never fully sleeps. Today it's a mix of sunlounger capitalism and lingering Fellini-esque melancholy.
Best Time to Visit
Full Rimini guide →Best months
May (23°C, blossom on the lungomare, quiet enough to get a sunbed), September (still 26°C, sea warm, no queues at the port restaurants), June (start of peak but pricing hasn’t rocketed yet).
Peak / festival surge
August, specifically the period around Ferragosto (15 August). Rimini's population triples. Beach front hotels like this one hit 100% occupancy and prices can double. The Notte Rosa (first weekend of July) also spikes demand — a city-wide pink party with concerts and fireworks along the entire coast.
Budget shoulder season
Late September to early October. Weather is still pleasant (22-25°C), prices drop 30-40%, the sea is swimmable well into September, and the beach clubs start offering discounted umbrellas.
Weather & packing
Summer mornings are often humid with sea fog that burns off by 10am; afternoons can hit 32°C with a gusty onshore wind. Pack a light windbreaker for the evening breeze off the Adriatic, and bring proper sandals — the fine sand sticks to everything.
Live City Briefing — Rimini
- Rimini's new electric bus line (MetroBus) started in 2025, linking the train station to Marina Centro and the Fair Centre — reduces traffic on Viale Regina Elena in peak hours.
- The new 'Piadina Km Zero' certification launched in 2026, guaranteeing piadine sold in official spots use local Romagna flour — look for the sticker near hotel Modenese's recommended kiosks.
- Beach lido 'Bagno 34' two blocks south reopened with a restored Art Nouveau changing cabin bar — try the house rosé spritz, cheaper than the tourist traps on the main strip.
Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Modenese, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request a room on the 3rd or 4th floor facing the inner courtyard. These floors are high enough to avoid ground-level noise but still within the lift's range, and the courtyard side is quieter than the street.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid rooms on the 1st floor or those overlooking the street. The 1st floor picks up lobby and breakfast noise, while street-facing rooms suffer from traffic sounds on Rimini's main roads.
Best views
Rooms on the 3rd or 4th floor facing away from the street offer a peaceful look over the courtyard or neighbouring rooftops. No sea views at 3 stars in Rimini's centre, but you get local character.
Quietest floors
Floors 3 and 4 are the quietest, as they're above the hubbub but still accessible by the lift.
🔊 Noise notes
The hotel is on a main road in Rimini, so expect traffic hum during the day and occasional night deliveries. The lift can be clunky — rooms next to it may hear doors opening, especially on lower floors.
Insider tips
1. Ask for a courtyard-facing room at booking – it's the best chance of a quiet night. 2. There's no pool or gym at this 3-star, so don't expect extras; focus on a good room location instead.
- 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

Money & Currency
Get a travel card →Euro, EUR
Use bank or post office ATMs for the best rate; avoid exchange bureaux at Rimini airport and tourist spots, they add poor rates and fees.
Major credit and debit cards are widely accepted in shops, restaurants and hotels; contactless and mobile pay (Apple Pay/Google Pay) are common. Keep a little cash for small bars, market stalls and the beachside kiosks.
Tipping is not expected but appreciated. Round up the bill in a restaurant (5-10% for great service is fine). Leave small change for hotel housekeeping; taxi drivers don’t expect a tip but you can round up to the nearest euro.
Eat, Shop & Travel on a Budget
Cheap car hire →Standing at a bar counter for an espresso – around €1.00-€1.20. Sitting at a table can double the price.
A takeaway pizza al taglio (by the slice) or a panino from a bakery – about €4-€6.
A pizza or pasta main in a casual trattoria – around €8-€12.
The main shopping street (Corso d'Augusto) and the area around Piazza Cavour have several piadinerie and pizza al taglio spots; the beachfront promenade has stalls and kiosks selling fried seafood and piadina in summer.
Conad, Coop and Lidl are the main budget supermarket chains in the area.
The high street along Corso d'Augusto and Via Gambalunga has chain stores like OVS, H&M and Zara for affordable fashion; market stalls at the weekly Mercato di Rimini (Saturday) also sell basics.
A single bus ticket (€1.30) is fine for short trips; a day pass (€3.50) for unlimited rides is the best value. From the airport, bus No. 9 runs into the centre for about €1.30; buy tickets at tabacchi or the airport machine.
1) Always buy bus tickets before boarding at a tabacchi or newsstand, buying on board costs more (€2.00). 2) Eat main meals at lunchtime when many trattorie offer a fixed-price menu (€10-€15) – far cheaper than dinner. 3) Fill a water bottle at the free public fountains (fontanelle) found in parks and squares – tap water is fine.

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.
