Hotel Riviera is fourth, and the canal is the reason it isn't higher. By our routing the terminal is about 2.3 road miles away, but only by the car ferry from Marina di Ravenna to Porto Corsini, €3 (about US$3) a car or €1 (about US$1) on foot, per Start Romagna.
The ferry runs continuously, 5 am to 12:30 am in the winter timetable, and takes 15 to 18 cars, per a February 2026 trade report. A queue on a sailing morning is the risk, not the distance.
Its Expedia listing covers the rest: free breakfast, free parking, a restaurant and 26 rooms. We found no site of its own.
Book it if you like the idea of a beach-town night. If the ferry worries you, the Marina Romea pair skip it.
Book it if
- You like a beach-town night before
- You want breakfast and parking included
- Your dog is coming
Look elsewhere if
- A ferry queue on sail morning would worry you.
- You want the hotel's own word.
- You need it open out of season.
