The Property — Solemare
The Solemare is a straightforward, mid-century seaside hotel two blocks from Rimini's beach strip. The lobby feels like a clean, slightly faded summer canteen: tiled floors, a small reception desk, a rack of local tourist brochures, and the faint smell of salt and espresso. It suits budget-conscious couples or families who want a reliable bed near the shore without paying for frills.
Chronicles of Rimini
Rimini began as the Roman colony Ariminum in 268 BC, a strategic port on the Adriatic. The Arch of Augustus and the Tiberius Bridge still stand from that era, marking the old city core. After the fall of Rome, the Malatesta family ruled for centuries, leaving the Tempio Malatestiano as a Renaissance jewel. Today, Rimini is Italy's biggest beach resort: a flat grid of hotels, beach clubs, and trattorias stretching for 15 km, drawing tourists for its sand and nightlife.
Best Time to Visit
Full Rimini guide →Best months
June and September: warm sea temperatures (22–26°C), long sunny days, but schools still in session in early June and back by mid-September, thinning out families. May is also good, with fewer crowds and cooler evenings.
Peak / festival surge
July–August: Italian Ferragosto (15 August) drives domestic tourism; hotel prices can double. Rimini also hosts the Pink Night (Notte Rosa) in early July, a citywide party with music and lights that jacks up occupancy.
Budget shoulder season
April–May and September–October: rates drop 30–50%, weather is mild (18–25°C), and the beach clubs are less packed. October can still see warm days, though evenings chill.
Weather & packing
Rimini's summer has sticky humidity from the Adriatic, with occasional afternoon thunderstorms. Pack light cottons, a rain shell, sandals, and a light sweater for sea breezes after sunset.
Live City Briefing — Rimini
- The new Rimini tram-train line (Metromare) connecting the train station to Riccione opened fully in 2024, cutting beachfront travel time by half.
- Several beach clubs north of the Grand Hotel now offer free Wi-Fi and co-working pods, aiming at remote workers in summer.
- The city is trialling a pedestrian-only zone on Viale Vespucci during July evenings, with extended outdoor seating for restaurants.
Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Solemare, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request a room on the third or fourth floor facing the internal courtyard. These are high enough to avoid street-level noise but still have lift access, and the courtyard side is quieter than the front of the building.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid rooms on the ground floor due to lobby foot traffic and potential noise from the breakfast area. Also avoid the top floor (fifth) as it may have noise from the lift motor room or roof equipment, and no lift goes that high if the lift stops at fourth.
Best views
Front-facing rooms on floors 2-4 look onto Viale Vespucci, a tree-lined street about 500m from the beach. You get a glimpse of the sea at the end of the street but also traffic. Side or rear views are of neighbouring buildings.
Quietest floors
Floors 3 and 4 are the quietest based on the four-storey building with lift access. The lift serves the first four floors, so these offer easy access without the bustle of lower levels.
🔊 Noise notes
Viale Vespucci carries local traffic and scooters, especially in summer. The hotel entrance and breakfast area on the ground floor generate morning noise. Nearby bars on the street may have evening chatter. The lift shaft is central — rooms next to it may hear mechanical noises.
Insider tips
1. If you have a car, ask reception about the residential parking permit scheme — cheaper than the hotel's private parking but needs advance request. 2. Request a room with a balcony only if you're facing the courtyard; street-side balconies get traffic fumes.
- 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.
