The Grand Hotel Rimini is the beach splurge, south of Ravenna rather than on the way from an airport. The icastelli.net page lists it as "5 stelle Lusso", with two restaurants, a spa with a heated pool, a seasonal outdoor pool and a private beach 25 m away.
The beach costs extra — €60 to €95 (about US$65–105) a day for two loungers and an umbrella. Parking is private and camera-watched at €25 (about US$30) a night.
Our routing gives about 40.4 road miles (65.0 km) to the terminal, roughly 74 minutes, and it's about 79 miles from Bologna airport.
We couldn't read the hotel's own site, and the check-in times on that page came out garbled — confirm both before you book.
Book it if
- You want the sea on your last night ashore
- A spa and a pool matter
- You're driving up the coast to the ship
Look elsewhere if
- You're flying into Bologna and want a short ride.
- You want the hotel's own word on the details.
- You'd rather not pay for the beach.
