The Romagna you can reach from Gatteo isn't just about beach umbrellas. Within half an hour there's a canal harbor tied to the survey Leonardo made in 1502, a Roman arch from 27 BC, four theme parks, an independent republic and over one hundred and fifty caves dug beneath a village.
From 9 to 34 minutes
Gatteo a Mare is Blue Flag 2026, like Cesenatico and San Mauro Pascoli. Which beach to choose depending on who you are: young children, teenagers, or anyone who wants just an umbrella away from the music.
The sea, beach by beach
From 17 to 40 minutes
Eight parks you can reach in a day, each suited to a different age. Aquafan isn't Oltremare, and Mirabilandia isn't Fiabilandia: here you'll find which one to choose for the children you actually have.
Which park, for whomThe home village
According to Casadei, who wrote «Romagna mia», he was born in Sant'Angelo di Gatteo: the hamlet where this house stands. And then there's the Malatesta castle, the Rubicone with Caesar's bust, the Blue Flag beach.
What Gatteo is likeFrom 7 to 51 minutes
Rimini with the Arch of Augustus and the Bridge of Tiberius, still standing after two thousand years. Cesenatico and its canal harbor. Santarcangelo and the caves. Cesena and the Malatestiana Library. San Marino, which is a different country.
Where to go and whyEight days ready to go
The sea, the parks, Cesenatico at sunset, Roman Rimini on foot, San Marino, the villages, cycling along the river, and a plan B for when it rains. In the right order.
