Advantages: GREAT LOCATION NEAR THE BEACH Disadvantages: RIMINI
Rimini is not my idea of a perfect destination in Italy, but it's close to San Marino, which isn't a perfect destination in Italy either when you come to think of it. Anyway, Rimini worked out fine for us last year as we wanted to visit San Marino and the choice of hotels was so much better.
That's why we went there - now for where we went there.
We opted for the Ramada Villa Rosa, mainly for the location it has to be said, but also because it looked a half decent hotel at a half decent price (80 euros).
The location couldn't be any better. It's 5 minutes from the historic town centre, sits right on the main drag just across the road from the beach and surrounded by bars and restaurants. We weren't really there for the beach, the historic town centre wasn't up to much but the bars and restaurants held a little more appeal ...
Advantages: enjoyable read, well written, depth to characters Disadvantages: none for me
I discovered Sue Grafton at my local library whilst I was browsing for something that took my fancy to read. I first saw 'P is for Peril' and B is for Burgular' and wondered if the series ran through the whole alphabet. After a little reading of the inside cover listing the other titles by this author I was chuffed to bits to see 'The Alphabet Series'... 26 books! And guess what I thought... 26 books = 26 reviews! On that basis I decided to read the blurb on the back of one of the books and decided that it sounded right up my street but wanted to read the series in order right from A through to Z. I found A is for Alibi and trotted off, booked it out with a HUGE smile on my face.....

Advantages: Location to beach, nice area of Rimini Disadvantages: Some room rates require extra £ to use private beach
We stayed at this hotel after booking a cheap 'new route' flight via Easyjet. The hotel has a feeling of being in an Agatha Christie novel with a certain shabby chic and some interesting people-watching moments - wealthy Europeans and Americans. Service was generally great, location was good (just across the road to the beach) and hotel facilities are easily sufficient. Breakfasts were fantastic.
My main criticisms are that 1) the Internet saver rate for our room meant we weren't entitled to use the hotel's private beach facilities without paying an additional (rather extortionate) sum 2) the room could have done with a refresh of decor - although it had a great Art deco feel with a balcony view of the pretty, well-kept gardens.
I would stay here again. ...
