The Property — Tenuta Mara
Tenuta Mara is a converted farmhouse on the green hills just outside Rimini, trading beachfront chaos for olive groves and quiet. The lobby smells of sun-warmed wood and espresso, with a small honesty bar and a stack of cycling maps — it feels like a country escape that's still ten minutes from the sea. It suits couples or solo travellers who want a calm base with parking, a pool, and real countryside, not another seafront chain.
Chronicles of Rimini
Rimini began as the Roman colony Ariminum in 268 BC, and the Arch of Augustus and Tiberius Bridge still stand from that era. It became a key Adriatic port under the Malatesta family in the Middle Ages, then a favourite of 19th-century Grand Tourists heading south. Today it's Italy's biggest beach resort by volume, with 15 km of sand, a hedonistic nightlife strip, and a quieter historic centre that most sunbathers never see.
Best Time to Visit
Full Rimini guide →Best months
May, June and September — warm enough for the beach, sea swimmable, but pavements and restaurants aren't at full meltdown. July is reliably hot but rammed.
Peak / festival surge
July and August. Rimini fills with Italian and Eastern European families on school break; hotel prices double or triple. The big event is the Notte Rosa (Pink Night) in early July, a 24-hour party along the entire coast with free concerts and fireworks.
Budget shoulder season
Late May and early October. Rooms can be 40–50% cheaper, the sea is still warm in September, and the cicadas drown out the crowds. You'll have the beach to yourself midweek.
Weather & packing
Summer here is humid and often windless, so anything synthetic won't dry overnight. Pack linen trousers and a thin cotton shawl for mosquitoes at dusk — no denim jackets.
Live City Briefing — Rimini
- Rimini's beachfront bike path (Corso d'Augusto) has been extended north to the new harbour park, making pedal trips from Tenuta Mara to the centre easier.
- The Tempio Malatestiano restoration finishes this April — visitors can now see the newly cleaned Cellini frescoes.
- New direct Trenitalia Frecciarossa services from Milan to Rimini started summer 2025, cutting travel time to 2 hours 40 minutes.
Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Tenuta Mara, 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 internal courtyard. The upper floors get less street hum from the Viale Regina Margherita traffic, and the courtyard side blocks most of the road noise coming off the main boulevard.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid ground-floor rooms directly behind reception – they can pick up footfall from the lobby and early breakfast prep. Also skip any rooms labelled 'annexe' or on the street side unless you want to hear Vespas until midnight.
Best views
The south-facing rooms on floors 4 and 5 give you a clear sightline across the hotel’s private olive grove towards the Torre Pedrera coastline – not full sea view but a good green-and-blue panorama for a 3-star.
Quietest floors
Floors 3 and 4 are the quietest – lift noise is minimal at that height, and the double glazing works better away from the ground-level comings and goings.
🔊 Noise notes
The hotel sits right on Viale Regina Margherita – a main road linking Rimini to Torre Pedrera, so expect traffic noise in street-side rooms, especially on weekdays. The bar terrace opens onto the garden and can get chatty from 6pm to midnight in summer.
Insider tips
1) Park in the free gravel lot behind the hotel (enter from Via Dei Ginepri) – saves you the 5 €/day for the small guarded car park out front. 2) Request a room with a 'balcone' (small balcony) – the 4th-floor rooms have proper chairs, not just a rail, and catch the afternoon sun nicely.
- 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 (bancomat) in central Rimini for the best rates; avoid exchange offices at Rimini train station or tourist bureaux, which take hefty commissions.
Major credit and debit cards are accepted in most shops, restaurants, and hotels; contactless and mobile pay (Apple Pay, Google Pay) are common, but carry some cash for smaller cafes, market stalls, and bus tickets.
Tipping is not expected but appreciated; rounding up the bill or leaving a euro or two is fine for good service in restaurants, and rounding up taxi fares or leaving loose change for hotel staff is common.
Eat, Shop & Travel on a Budget
Cheap car hire →Standing at a bar counter for an espresso or caffè normale costs about €1–€1.20; sitting down at a table adds a premium of €1–€2.
A slice of pizza al taglio (by weight) or a panino from a bakery with a drink will come to about €5–€7.
A simple pasta or pizza main course in a casual trattoria or pizzeria runs €8–€12.
Grab a piadina (stuffed flatbread) from a roadside kiosk or bakery along the seafront; also look for friggitorie (fried seafood) near the marina or market area for cheap eats.
Conad, Eurospin, Lidl, and MD are common budget supermarkets in the Rimini area.
The main shopping street Corso d'Augusto and the pedestrian area near Piazza Cavour have affordable high-street chains like OVS, H&M, and Decathlon (for basics and sportswear).
A single bus ticket in Rimini costs €1.30 and is valid for 75 minutes; the cheapest way from Federico Fellini Airport (RMI) into town is the red shuttle bus (Linea 9) at €1.30, or a 20-minute walk.
Buy a gelato or coffee at a bar counter rather than at a table to save €1–€2. Shop at local markets (e.g., Mercato di Rimini on Corso d'Augusto) for cheaper fresh fruit, veg, and street food. Avoid eating or drinking at touristy seafront spots; walk a block inland for more authentic, cheaper options.

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.
