Hotel Britannia, Cesenatico

Thanks largely to its serene spot in the port town of Cesenatico, which lies on Italy's Adriatic coast, Hotel Britannia is a great choice for a relaxing holiday by the sea. Few coastal resorts can boast a port designed by Leonardo da Vinci, and the touch of a master artist is evident in this pretty town. At just 30 kilometres away, the city of Ravenna and its UNESCO World Heritage Sites are easily reachable on a day trip.

The four-star Hotel Britannia, Cesenatico is situated in a large garden, which offers a pleasant environment for an afternoon stroll or to sit and catch up on some holiday reading. Another main attraction is, of course, the beach, where you can soak up the sun on the fine, white sand or take a dip in the dazzling Adriatic Sea. The 35 rooms and five suites are all air conditioned and en suite. They also come with minibar, satellite television, telephone, safety deposit box and hairdryer. Of the 43 entirely renovated bathrooms in the property, 14 have a Jacuzzi shower or whirlpool, adding a dash of self-indulgence.

Families are particularly well catered for at this Cesenatico hotel. The ‘06 International' organisation offers special rates for younger guests, who can pass their time in the playground, attend a mealtime mini-club and partake of a dedicated children's menu. And guests of all ages can enjoy the hotel's inviting - and heated - outdoor swimming pool. An instructor is on hand to help out, and there is a shallow corner for weaker swimmers.
