Discovering Cattolica

Cattolica: what to see and do

Cattolica welcomes you with the cheerful spirit of Romagna and the warmth of a town that lives for the sea. Discover a truly unique destination!

Its ancient seafaring spirit is still very much alive: just pop down to the harbor early in the morning to see the fishing boats returning with the day’s catch, just as they used to. In the heart of the city lies Piazza Primo Maggio, famous for its dancing fountains: every evening, jets of water and colored lights dance to the beat of the music, enchanting both young and old.

For some relaxation and shopping, the streets of Bovio, Mancini, and Fiume are lined with boutiques and cafés, while Viale Dante is the perfect place to find the ideal souvenir. On cloudy days, a visit to the Cattolica Aquarium is a must: it’s the second-largest in Italy!

Cattolica Aquarium

Just a 10-minute walk from Hotel Ines, the Cattolica Aquarium invites you to enjoy a thrilling experience. It's the Adriatic's largest aquarium and is housed in a historic 1930s property shaped like a naval fleet. Here, you can get up close with sharks, penguins, and otters, following immersive paths that showcase the beauty of our seas. It’s the perfect spot for something a little different, an afternoon filled with wonder and a touch of magic for all ages.

Gradara

Just a ten-minute drive from Cattolica, the village of Gradara welcomes you with the timeless charm of its castle. Strolling through the narrow streets of this fortified borgo, where the love story of Paolo and Francesca was born, is a truly evocative and romantic experience. Don’t miss a walk along the castle walls, where you can take in sweeping views over the Romagna hills.

Are you looking for the most beautiful view of our coastline? Then Gabicce Monte is a must-see! Located right on the border between Romagna and Marche, this small village boasts panoramic views stretching across the entire Riviera, all the way to Cesenatico. You can reach the village by car or bike and enjoy an aperitif at sunset or dinner at one of the little restaurants overlooking the blue sea, enveloped by the scent of broom and the sea.

Monte San Bartolo Park

If you love spending time in nature, San Bartolo Park offers trails overlooking the sea that connect Gabicce to Pesaro. It’s a stretch of wild, unspoiled coastline, characterized by towering cliffs, blooming broom, and a bright blue sea. Explore it on foot or ride one of our e-bikes along the Panoramica road: winding through gentle curves and breathtaking views, you’ll discover hidden coves and small fishing villages like Fiorenzuola di Focara.

[Translated by Google Translate] We stayed at this hotel in early September; we'd stayed there before, so we knew what it would be like. The rooms are well-maintained and modern. The staff are friendly, and I'd say the entire complex is excellent, as always. The pool is clean and tidy. The breakfast is excellent and varied, and the lady who runs the breakfast is incredibly kind. I highly recommend it if you're staying in Cattolica.

[Translated by Google Translate] My daughter and I returned yesterday from a wonderful week's vacation in Cattolica. At Hotel Ines, we found the staff friendly and professional. The location is excellent for reaching the city center, just steps from Via Dante and not far from the beach. Special thanks to all the staff, who were friendly and helpful. The rooms were new, clean, and equipped with every comfort. The icing on the cake... the food!!! The food was excellent, both at breakfast and at lunchtime, with a varied and delicious menu every day. If we return to the area, we will definitely choose this hotel again.
