Discovering Forlì and its surrounding area
Welcome to Forlì and its charming hinterland, a place where history, traditions, and Romagna hospitality have been intertwined for centuries. Located in the heart of the Po Valley, along the historic Via Emilia, Forlì has always been a meeting point between North and South, a crossroads of cultures and trade since Roman times, when it was founded as Forum Livii.
Today, Forlì is a lively and cultural city, home to the Alma Mater Studiorum University of Bologna and guardian of an important artistic heritage. Don’t miss the Museums of San Domenico, housed in the former convent of the same name, which host nationally and internationally renowned exhibitions every year.
The historic center is centered around Piazza Saffi, the beating heart of the city, overlooked by the Basilica of San Mercuriale, the Clock Tower, and the most representative buildings. Don’t miss the Cathedral, the Church of Carmine, the Municipal Art Gallery, and the Rocca di Ravaldino, symbols of Forlì’s history and identity.
Just a few minutes from the center, the city gives way to the rolling hills of the Wine and Food Trail, a route stretching over 280 km through the valleys of central Romagna. Among picturesque villages such as Predappio, Modigliana, Civitella di Romagna, Dovadola, Mercato Saraceno, and Sogliano, you can discover the authentic soul of the area and savor the typical products that make it unique: local wines, fresh homemade pasta, aged cheeses, traditional desserts, and, of course, the queen of the Romagna table—piadina.
A region to be experienced slowly, surrounded by nature, culture, and authentic flavors.
Bertinoro
Legend has it that these were the words uttered by the Roman empress Galla Placidia after tasting Albana, the prized wine produced in the local vineyards.
Bertinoro is a charming medieval village located in the foothills of Forlì, a few kilometers from the Via Emilia, between Forlì and Cesena.
Located on the summit of Mount Cesubeo, it is known as the balcony of Romagna for its panoramic view over the plains of Forlì and Ravenna, stretching as far as the waters of the Adriatic Sea in the distance.
An ideal destination for a pleasant excursion, just 20 minutes from the hotel.
Cesenatico and Riviera Adriatica
The most characteristic place in Cesenatico is undoubtedly the canal harbor, designed by Leonardo da Vinci, which still welcomes active fishing boats and historic vessels today. The latter are part of the evocative Maritime Museum, divided into two sections: a “floating” section, with traditional boats, and one on dry land, where you can discover the different aspects of maritime life.
The town is bustling with numerous traditional restaurants where you can enjoy local specialties, naturally based on fish.
From late afternoon onwards, with happy hour, Cesenatico comes alive thanks to the many bars and restaurants overlooking the pier and along the streets of the town center.
Cesenatico and the Adriatic Riviera are easily accessible from the hotel.
Ravenna
For a weekend dedicated to art and culture, Ravenna is a splendid city rich in history, whose glorious past is reflected in its marvelous Byzantine monuments, now a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Just a stone’s throw from the sea, the seaside resorts stretch along 35 km of coastline and are easily accessible via expressways and efficient public transport.
The hotel reception staff will be happy to suggest the most picturesque routes for visiting the historic center or nearby seaside resorts.
