A holiday in Rimini is not only synonymous with beach and sea: just a few kilometres from the coast you can discover an amazing inland area with soft hilly and mountainous landscapes and scattered medieval villages, places and routes of great natural and cultural interest.

Close to Rimini, on the first Apennine hills, there is the landlocked Republic of San Marino, an old country with its characteristic towers perching on rocky spurs that offer a breathtaking view of the valley and town of Rimini down to the whole coast.

Fortresses and castles of other hill-top villages such as Gradara, San Leo, Verucchio, Santarcangelo di Romagna, Talamello and Pennabilli, scattered along the valley of Marecchia river also offer stunning views as well as a wealth of historical buildings awaiting your visit.

The Rimini inland area also offers great opportunities to taste some fine food and wine in its many typical local restaurants and “osterie” or during some of the most famous food festivals, such as the “Sagra del Tartufo” (Truffle Festival) of Sant’Agata Feltria, the Potato Festival in Montescudo, the Chestnut Festival in Montefiore, the Honey Festival in Torriana, the “Strozzapreti” Pasta Festival in Montecolombo or the Pork Festival in Verucchio.  A triumph for the palate and for tourists who love to combine a relaxing seaside holiday with the pleasures of culinary tours.

You can also find many typical local products in the restaurant of our hotel so you can keep enjoying them well after your return.

Aquila Azzurra Hotel gives all their guests the opportunity to take Summer trips to the main inland places with free transport to San Marino, Gradara and San Leo. Furthermore our staff will be pleased to provide all useful information about the most beautiful places to visit as well as the events calendar.
