The Property — Relax
Stepping into the lobby of Relax, you find a clean, no-fuss space with pale wood floors and a small reception desk that nods to the 1960s seaside aesthetic. It’s a three-star focused on practicality: spotless rooms with air conditioning, a rooftop terrace with loungers, and a buffet breakfast that does the job. The USP is location—fifty metres from the beach and a short walk to the central train station, making it ideal for couples or solo travellers who want a solid base without frills. This hotel suits someone who plans to spend most of their time outside, not lounging around the property.
Chronicles of Rimini
Rimini began as the Roman colony Ariminum in 268 BC, a strategic port on the Adriatic. The Emperor Augustus built a triumphal arch and a bridge—the Arch of Augustus (27 BC) and the Tiberius Bridge (AD 20)—that still stand today, anchoring the historic centre. In the 13th century, the Malatesta family turned the city into a Renaissance stronghold, leaving the Tempio Malatestiano, a cathedral begun by Leon Battista Alberti. Post-war, Rimini became Italy’s mass-market beach destination: a nine-mile ribbon of sand, lidos, and nightclubs that now redefines itself with eco-resorts and cultural events. Its modern identity is brash, beachy, and unapologetically fun, with a serious food scene behind the sun-loungers.
Best Time to Visit
Full Rimini guide →Best months
June and September offer the sunniest weather (25–30°C) and the calmest seas, beach lidos are fully open but queues at restaurants are much shorter than in July.
Peak / festival surge
August is the peak month when all of Italy heads to the coast. Hotel prices at a three-star like Relax can double, and the beach is packed with families from Milan and Bologna. The main event is the Ferragosto holiday (15 August), with fireworks and late-night parties.
Budget shoulder season
May and late September are the best budget options: still 20–25°C, hotel rates drop by 30–40%, and the beach is relaxed. You’ll have the seafront promenade mostly to yourself.
Weather & packing
Rimini’s coastal location brings humid summer afternoons—expect a sticky heat by 2pm that often clears with a brief evening breeze. Pack a light cotton jacket for evenings and slip-on sandals for the hot sand, but also bring a reusable water bottle for the relentless sun.
Live City Briefing — Rimini
- The new Rimini tram-train line (the 'Metromare') linking the station to the southern beaches began its second phase in late 2025; check current shuttle connections for July 2026 to avoid construction delays.
- A major sand renourishment project on the central beaches (from Piazzale Kennedy to the Grand Hotel) is scheduled for spring 2026, so the shoreline near the hotel may be fresher but with some machinery noise in early summer.
- Rimini’s food truck festival, 'Aperitivo in Spiaggia', returns July 1–10, 2026, with pop-up stalls on the seafront near the old bathing huts; expect local piadina and Sangiovese wine until late evening.
Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Relax, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request a room on a higher floor (4th or 5th) facing the courtyard or side street, away from the main road. These are quieter and likely have a partial sea glimpse if the hotel's orientation allows.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid rooms on the ground or first floor near the reception and breakfast area – these pick up foot traffic and kitchen noise. Also dodge rooms facing the main street directly; even with double glazing, early morning traffic can be intrusive.
Best views
A higher floor, side-facing room (e.g., east or west) may offer a glimpse of the sea or a decent view of the town's rooftops and the Rimini skyline. A front-facing room on a high floor gives a direct street view but trades quiet for spectacle.
Quietest floors
Floors 4 and 5 are usually quietest in a three-storey-plus building, as they are further from street level and common areas.
🔊 Noise notes
Expect traffic noise from the main road during the day and early evening. In summer, nearby open-air bars or piazzas can carry chatter until late. The hotel's lift may be audible on adjacent rooms, especially at night.
Insider tips
1. If you're driving, ask the hotel for a parking space when booking – Rimini's on-street parking is tight and paid. 2. Request a room on the 5th floor for a better chance of a sea view and less street hum; if unavailable, a courtyard-side room on floor 3 is a solid fallback.
- 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 ATMs for the best rates; avoid exchange bureaux at the airport or tourist spots near the train station as they add poor rates and fees.
Mastercard and Visa are widely accepted; contactless and Apple Pay/Google Pay work in most shops, restaurants, and supermarkets; keep some cash for small kiosks or market stalls.
Not expected but appreciated for good service: round up the bill in restaurants or leave €1-2, taxi drivers round up to the nearest euro, hotel porters €1-2 per bag.
Eat, Shop & Travel on a Budget
Cheap car hire →A simple espresso at a bar counter costs about €1.20, standing up saves you the 50-cent surcharge for table service.
A piadina (stuffed flatbread) with fillings like ham and cheese from a kiosk or bakery costs around €5-6 and fills you up.
A main course of pasta al pomodoro or grilled fish in a local osteria near the canal runs about €10-14.
Piadina kiosks and stands along Viale Vespucci and near the train station offer the best cheap eats—no frills but authentic.
Conad, Coop, and Lidl are the most common budget supermarkets, spread across the neighbourhoods near the centre.
Via XX Settembre and Corso d'Augusto have national chains like OVS and H&M for affordable basics; the weekly market on Thursday mornings at Piazza Cavour is good for budget clothing and accessories.
A single bus ticket costs €1.30; the best value is a day pass for €4.50, valid on all urban buses. From the airport, take bus route 9 to the train station for €1.30—avoid taxis that cost over €15.
Eat your main meal at lunchtime (menù del giorno often includes drink and coffee for €10-12). Buy a Rimini Welcome card for free bus travel and discounts on attractions if you plan to sightsee. Shop for souvenirs at local grocery stores rather than tourist stalls on the seafront.

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.
