    Best breakfast and dinner ever. We’ve been in many luxurious and even Michelin stars restaurants in our life, and I can say with total honesty that their food was one of the best we’ve ever tried. There is a big selection of food, for all the tastes, the menu was changing every evening and the staff was over the top. Very friendly, kind and nice, always there to help you with everything. The location was perfect, in the middle of everything and only 3 minutes walking distance from the beach.

    We had a reservation for a 2 room apartment and when we arrived, we realized that this apartment was not in the hotel building ( which was a very nice and stylish building). The apartment was in an obscure building vis-a-vis from the hotel. This building had nothing to do with the pictures of the actual hotel. And while it was clean, and we had everything we needed, in the bathroom there was a visible stain of mold, and in the rooms there were a few spider webs. Also, while the actual hotel building had an elevator, this building had only external stairs, so we had to carry all the time our baby in the stroller on the stairs. I think it will be fair for people make reservations in this hotel but who will actually be placed in the additional building to be informed before arrival.

    The hotel's location is great. Less than a 10-minute walk to the train station, where trains run frequently along the coast between Ravenna - Rimini and further. The beach is very close and had several options for eating, drinking and sunbathing. Breakfast was delicious and had a great variety of options. Good surprise was the water dispenser for guests to refill bottles- it was much needed. The hotel's dinner menu also impressed us with its variety and quality. Everything was very delicious and a great experience. The hotel room was large, didn't hear any noise from outside, and had everything we needed. The only noise came from a local summer festival, but it stopped rather early each day. The hotel staff is friendly, welcoming, and always available to help.

    breakfast was delicious every time and they’d change dinner every night. staff were very friendly and spoke great english. the room with the terrace was amazing and the hot tub was so relaxing to use every night!

    it was a bit uncomfortable at the restaurant because the staff would patrol the tables. understandably they were looking for things to clean up but it was very noticeable to my friend and i.

    The breakfast was very good, with plenty of sweet options. The final apartment we were moved to was spacious and comfortable — our two younger children could sleep in a separate bedroom, and our older daughter stayed in the living room. The location was convenient, and the staff was polite.

    We didn’t receive the apartment we had booked for the first night. Instead of a 2-bedroom + living room apartment, we were given one with only 1 bedroom and a living room, where three of us had to sleep together — including on a bunk bed placed near the fridge. The hotel moved us to the correct apartment the next day, but the first night and the arrival experience were a nightmare. They offered to waive the €45 city tax, but we declined it — especially since they also refused to reimburse even the price difference between the two room types. We were very disappointed with how the situation was handled.

    Helpful staff, always eager to support. Dedicated room to store the bikes. Breakfast full of options, for sure you'll find something you like. Room and the terrace exactly what we expected. Simply great, cannot find anything really to complain.

    Exceeded all expectations – unforgettable family stay! From the moment we arrived, everything was beyond what we hoped for. The staff was incredibly welcoming, the rooms spotless and cozy, and every little detail seemed carefully thought out. We were on a family vacation, and this hotel made it truly special. We’ll definitely come back – this place has become part of our best memories. was great. Very clean, super vondotio

    Nothing related to this hotel.

    We booked a room at Hotel Estense in Gatteo Mare through Booking.com, specifically choosing a room with a kitchen for four people. Upon check-in, we were directed to a different building located about 20 meters from the main hotel. The room was in poor condition: it was dirty, and the toilet had remnants clearly left behind by previous guests. We took photos and submitted them with a complaint on Booking.com. When I approached the reception about the issue, the hotel owner offered us a €100 dinner as compensation, which I perceived as a bribe to cover up the deception, and we refused it. I would also like to point out that the listing on Booking.com did not mention that the room was located in a separate building, nor were there any hotel signs on that building. In addition, the bathroom had a large window that could not be closed, which caused discomfort and unpleasant smells from a neighboring toilet. We were disappointed, as we expected more comfortable conditions in line with the website description and the hotel’s rating. I hope the hotel owners will take steps to improve cleanliness, fix the window issue, and provide accurate information about their rooms on booking platforms.

    The location is ideal. The staff is helpful and nice (from the reception to the restaurant). My last minute stay went beyond my expectations.

    There was some noise (people singing with microphone) close to the hotel but it stopped around 2300.

    Very nice family owned buotique hotel 2 streets from the seaside. Nicely decorated small room, perfect for a short summer holiday. Clean and tidy, staff is welcoming, breakfast is far beyond 3 stars. The lobby of the hotel also more like a 4 star. We would likely come back. Free parking nearby.

    Well, nothing really, spa is for a plus fee, but this is correctly communicated. Room is a bit small.
