Ancient castles and a green, rolling landscape: this is what you can admire in the surroundings of Cattolica.
Just a few kilometres away, you will find charming medieval villages and natural wonders, such as Gradara, known as the Capital of the Middle Ages, made famous by the love story of Paolo and Francesca told in Dante’s Inferno; San Giovanni in Marignano, which every year celebrates the Night of the Witches during the summer solstice; the evocative Onferno Caves; and the spectacular views from the cliff of Fiorenzuola di Focara and San Marino.
During the summer, Cattolica and the inland villages also host traditional markets and historical re-enactments from the medieval period.
Along the shoreline from dawn to dusk, evening Nordic Walking excursions, swimming and many other healthy ways to enjoy outdoor sports will be available to you with the utmost ease and convenience at any time. For sea lovers, there are countless opportunities for fun: early-morning deep-sea fishing or a charming evening mini cruise accompanied by grilled fish, local wine and live music.
Just 7 minutes from Cattolica you will also find the brand-new Riviera Horses riding centre and the Riviera Golf Resort. Two very popular destinations among Riviera visitors who wish to enjoy a different kind of day out.
