The city of Cattolica, also called “Queen of the Adriatic“, until the last decades of the eighteenth century was simply a small fishermen’s village, which in the course of the following century became known as one of the most famous seaside resorts of the Adriatic . Cattolica, an Italian municipality in the province of Rimini, is situated in the “low romagna” and precisely: it borders on the east with Gabicce Mare (PU) from which it is separated from the stream “Tavollo”, southeast with Gradara (PU) Misano Adriatico (RN) from which it is separated from the river Conca and to the south with San Giovanni in Marignano (RN); Finally it is bathed to the north by the Adriatic Sea. Famous summer vacation resort, it has a rich naval tradition (fishing and shipyards). Finally, “Cattolica” is mentioned by Dante Alighieri in the Divine Comedy in the XXVIII Song of Hell.

Currently Cattolica is a privileged holiday destination in the wide panorama of international tourism, nestled between the verdant hills of Romagna and the Adriatic blue sea. The tourist accommodation facilities are constantly renewing (despite the difficulties of these times) reaching the “top” in their respective categories thanks to the offer of a surprising range of services and comfort at a reasonable price.

Immancabile ovunque nella città di Cattolica l’insuperabile spirito di ricevimento “made in Romagna”, frutto di una secolare esperienza in materia di ospitalità che si tramanda da molte generazioni, offrendo calore, disponibilità ed una professionalità impeccabile ed unica riconosciuta sia dagli italiani sia dagli stranieri: in poche parole “ACCOGLIENZA ROMAGNOLA”. Ed in quest’ottica, naturalmente facendo quello che è possibile, che il Residence Darsena presta attenzione nell’accogliere nei migliori dei modi i suoi clienti.

In Romagna there are many possibilities to make, or even improvised, fantastic thematic itineraries depending on your personal tastes. Itineraries in the nature of the Marche-Romagna hinterland, excursions to the historic centers or the Malatestian rocks that populate the Rimini hills, sport paths for motorbike and bicycle enthusiasts, and much more. Finally archaeological excavations were discovered showing the existence of settlements dating to the Bronze Age and, along Via Flaminia, Roman and Byzantine ages.

Going on vacation to CATTOLICA does not just mean to stay all day sunbathe and dive into the waves of the Adriatic Sea, it does not mean simply enjoying the comforts of one of the many romagnoli accommodation facilities or traditional cuisine. There is still much to discover, there is a lot more. For example, it is advisable to take pleasant walks leading to the harbor and to the new dock where you can cool off in the fussy summer evenings, letting you stroll from the gentle breeze blowing from the sea as you enjoy drinks and appetizers on the premises.

A last resort deserves the local food and wine, a sublime masterpiece of the products of the sea and the hills of this land that the imagination, the genius and the passion of the inhabitants have over time transformed into a true art.
