Ravenna hotels - close to Mirabilandia theme park, Italy

Hotel Romea, Ravenna

Hotel Romea, Ravenna - lying at the southern edge of the town centre, this lovely Ravenna hotel is within easy reach of all the historic sights of this ancient city. And there is much to see in and around Ravenna.

With fun for the family and plenty to occupy the culture hungry visitor to Italy, Ravenna ticks several boxes. This is a very ancient town, and was already a major Roman centre, and base to the Roman navy, by the second century AD. Trajan built a 70 metre aqueduct here, and in 402, the Emperor Honorius transferred the Roman capital from Milan to Ravenna ... a strategic withdrawal from the invading Goths. Today, this Ravenna hotel offers loads of sightseeing opportunities.

The historical legacy is all around, not least in the remarkable collection of buildings that comprise Ravenna's World Heritage Site. The eight early Christian buildings, centred on the Basilica di San Vitale, date from the third century AD. Ravenna is also home to the Mirabilandia theme park (at Savio), which welcomes 18 million visitors a year to a familiar diet of terrifying white knuckle rides and stuff for the younger ones too. Ravenna was on the coast when the Romans ruled, but the seas have receded several miles now, and the city is joined to the Adriatic by the city canal, which cuts between the marshes and lagoons to reach the seaside resort of Marina di Ravenna. Your Ravenna hotel offers seaside fun as well as culture and sightseeing.

Rooms at this Ravenna hotel have 20in LCD satellite TV, minibar, hairdryer, pay TV, bathroom and WiFi internet access. A good buffet breakfast of cakes, croissants, yoghurts, cereals, fresh fruit and omelettes is served each morning.
