Staying at the Hotel Sarti for the first time, i found it a warm friendly and welcoming hotel, very convient for the town, Less Than 100 meters from the beach and very close to local shops and bars,, Service was 1st class as the food WAS ,, the rooms are clean and spacious and light Have a large modern bathroom, as for the cycling, Also That was 1st class, great rental bikes, and top class guides and routes That suit all fitness levels,, and going to beautiful locations and seeing parts of the beautiful countryside best seen by bicycle .. Minus points? not quite finished the renovations, I know very small outside area to relax in, But you do get free entry to the Thermal Spa across the road,, Which has a lovely pool and thermmal waters etc, so you dont miss out on anything,

Some of the people staying in Hotels in RIccione have commented on what the attraction of Riccione is. These people just don't get it. The grand majority of vacationers are German and Italian and this area is the quintisential Italian family vacation at the seashore. There are very, very few americans in Riccione and for my money, that is a blessing not because I have anyting against the American tourist, but because it has remained a truly Italian experience and not Americanized to attract the American tourist.
The Hotel Sarti is the place for a family vacation. It is right on the seashore, outstanding food and great value. Fresh fruit is brought out to you in the middle of your sunbathing. The water is very placid and wave are more like ripples when compating it to the Mediterranean sea. It is truly nice to see people get dressed up for dinner. The fish is fresh and the selection of dishes will please anyone. The great and ritualistic "passegiata" at night is relaxing and invigorating after a nice meal.
