The Property — Riviera Golf Resort
A functional three-star perked on the edge of a golf course, about a 15-minute drive south of Rimini's beach strip. The lobby is clean and airy, with a golf-themed decor that feels more practical than luxurious. It suits budget-conscious couples or small groups who want a quiet base with easy access to the greens and the motorway, not the seafront nightlife.
Chronicles of Rimini
Rimini began as the Roman colony Ariminum in 268 BCE, a key junction on the Via Flaminia. Its medieval skyline was largely rebuilt after WWII bombings, leaving the Tempio Malatestiano and Tiberius Bridge as rare survivors. Today it's a brash, family-friendly beach resort with a thriving trade fair district. The historic centre retains a workaday charm, feeding off the summer crowds but never losing its Adriatic identity.
Best Time to Visit
Full Rimini guide →Best months
June and September: warm sea, reliable sun, and the school-holiday crush has not yet peaked or has already eased. July is also fine but busier.
Peak / festival surge
August: Italian Ferragosto (15 August) plus school holidays bring crowds and lift hotel rates by 30–50%. The beaches pack out, and the city runs on high-season energy.
Budget shoulder season
May and late September: room prices drop 30–40%, the weather is still pleasant (20–25°C), and the beach clubs are open but quiet.
Weather & packing
Rimini gets muggy sea-breezes in summer but can also have sudden thunderstorms. Pack light cottons, a rain shell, and proper swimwear—cheap sandals won't last on the pebbly sand.
Live City Briefing — Rimini
- The new 'Metromare' tram link connecting Rimini station to Riccione via the waterfront is now fully operational, cutting travel time to the hotel's general area (get off at 'Miramare' stop and take a short taxi).
- Rimini's beach clubs have introduced a digital sunbed booking system for 2026 to reduce queues—check your preferred club's app in advance.
- Historic centre pedestrianisation has been extended to Piazza Cavour and Corso d'Augusto for summer evenings, with extra market stalls and live music.
Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Riviera Golf Resort, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request a room on floors 3-5 facing the internal courtyard or the green area behind the hotel. These floors are high enough to avoid street-level noise but still within easy reach of the stairs if the lift is busy.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid rooms on the ground floor or first floor facing the street (Via ... or main road). Ground-floor rooms can pick up foot traffic and lobby noise; first-floor street-facing rooms get bus and scooter rumble from Rimini's busy avenues.
Best views
Rooms facing the internal garden or the side away from the main road offer the best view — green space or quiet residential rooftops. No sea view at this address.
Quietest floors
Floors 3-5 are the quietest, set back from street noise and away from the lift lobby and service areas.
🔊 Noise notes
The hotel is on a main road into Rimini, so traffic noise is constant, especially in front-facing rooms. The lift can be clunky on floors 2 and 3, and the bar/restaurant area on the ground floor generates chatter until late.
Insider tips
1) If you're driving, ask for a room near the back of the hotel to avoid parking lot noise from early risers. 2) Check in after 3 PM to request a courtyard-facing room — the front desk can often swap if they're quiet.
- 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 ATMs in town for the best rates; avoid exchange bureaux at Rimini station or along the seafront, which have poor rates and high fees.
Cards (Visa/Mastercard) are widely accepted in shops, restaurants, hotels and transport; contactless and mobile pay are common. Cash is still needed for small bars, market stalls and some taxis.
Not expected but appreciated. Round up the bill in restaurants, leave small change for taxis, and a couple of euros for hotel housekeeping.
Eat, Shop & Travel on a Budget
Cheap car hire →A standing espresso at a bar (caffè al banco) costs around €1.10–€1.30; takeaway or seated coffee is more.

A pizza margherita or a plate of pasta at a trattoria off the main strip costs about €8–€12.
Along Viale Vespucci and side streets near the station you find piadina kiosks, pizza slices and takeaway focaccia for fast, cheap eats.
Conad, Lidl and Coop are the main budget supermarkets, with many outlets across town.
Via XX Settembre and the streets around the Arch of Augustus have a mix of affordable high-street chains (OVS, Terranova) and local boutiques; the Saturday market in Piazza Cavour is good for basics.
A single bus ticket (€1.30, valid 75 minutes) or a 24-hour pass (€4.50) covers all city routes. From Rimini airport, take the special shuttle bus (€2–€3 one way) or a shared minibus; a taxi is €20–€25.
Eat away from the main seafront strips where prices are 30–50% higher. Buy drinks at a supermarket rather than beachside bars. Use public buses or walk; bike rental (€10–€15 per day) is another budget option.

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.
