Santarcangelo di Romagna Vacations from $372

I can't speak highly enough of our trip to this resort. It really is a small village that has all the amenities you need. It is very family-focused where I would think most, if not all guests were families with young / teen children. It is pet-friendly, plenty of guests with their dogs which was lovely to see. The staff were remarkable, helpful everywhere we went and serviced us with care. The place has a great community pool, fit for all ages, has a shallow end for the little ones, a medium bit for older kids, and a deep-end for the stronger swimmers. They have a private beach area, already setup with chairs and umbrellas. There's staff on the beach as well to assist. On the beach is a seaside restaurant. Reservations are required but it was lovely sitting on the patio, overlooking the sea. The cottages themselves fit our needs. We are a family of 5 so we got the two bedroom. A little kitchen, dining area (although we had most meals outside on the porch), master bedroom for the parents, one bedroom with two beds, and a bed in the lounge. Bathroom was nice and modern. There was always entertainment happening throughout the day and evening which was included. There are small shops and restaurants that come with an extra cost but you also have the option to go off resort to shop or eat as long as you have a vehicle.

PHI Hotel is a great choice for Bologna! It is very centrally located, with easy walking to main attractions and public parking close by. The staff service was excellent and the restaurant on site served delicious local food - be sure to book in advance for dinner! The breakfast was excellent and the Prosecco at breakfast and in the welcoming lounge was a wonderful unexpected touch of spoil!

The rooms were an excellent size and perfectly clean, we were well looked after by the staff and the breakfast was fabulous.

I used cabs . Not many restaurants. One local pizzeria across the street. Complementary breakfast included.. it lacked aesthetics. But the hotel staff was especially nice.

We were disappointed with our stay from the outset. As older travellers arriving from the other side of the world with heavy luggage, it was challenging to find our room on the third floor with no lift available. While staff kindly assisted us with our bags on arrival, there was no help offered when we checked out, which made departure quite difficult. The room itself was lacking several basic amenities. The cupboard intended for a fridge was empty, and there were no glasses, cups, or a kettle provided for making tea. Although there was a coffee machine, two pods were supplied along with a single small plastic espresso cup, which felt insufficient. The hotel is also located some distance from town, and it would have been helpful to have maps or public transport information available to assist guests in getting around. On a positive note, the bed was comfortable, the room was quiet, and the TV included Netflix, which allowed us to relax in the evenings with a couple of good movies. Overall, while there were some good aspects, the lack of essential amenities and practical support made the stay less enjoyable than expected.
