The ideal holiday for grown-ups and children
At Hotel Universal you will find the characteristic warm hospitality of the people of Romagna, a land which offers you a world of fun, relaxation, and one of the most genuine culinary traditions of our country.
Hotel Universal, entirely renovated, is situated South of Riccione, in the greenest and quietest area of the town, a few steps away from the thermal baths and about a hundred metres from the beach; it is the optimal solution for those who need thermal treatments, since the hotel is quite close to the “Riccione Terme” establishment. After a day at the beach you have a number of alternatives at your disposal without having to use the car: those who love going shopping have the promenade in Viale San Martino close at hand, and Viale Ceccarini with its griffes is just a few minutes away; a funfair for children is a hundred metres away; for those who are fond of discos, the best known ones in the Riviera (Peter Pan, Byblos, Cocoricò, Pascià, Prince) can be reached in less than three minutes’ drive (the southern area of Riccione is at the foot of Villa Alta, the hill of the discos); ballroom dancing lovers, on the other hand, “Bollicine” is about 200 metres away. A bus service runs pleasantly and quietly along the Riviera Romagnola; from the terminal, which is about 100 metres from the hotel, you can reach Rimini in little more than 20 minutes and Cattolica in little less.
From 1980 we own and run Hotel Universal; we are natives of Romagna and we show all our guests the sincere hospitality and helpfulness which are typical of our land. We are of rural descent and we still own an estate situated in the hills between Coriano and Misano, where we not only grow fruit and vegetables for our hotel, but also produce the typical wines of Romagna: Sangiovese and Trebbiano, both of D.O.C. quality, which are used exclusively in our hotel. Alberto, Rosina, Luca, Claudia, Sauro, Davide, Sara look after the cooking, the buffet in the dining-room, the bar, the reception, the purchases and all the relations with the clientele. A teamwork tested in the course of the years, whose only purpose is that of making your holidays as pleasant as possible. During your stay we would be pleased to take you to visit our country estate, where we will show you the cultivations and the wine vault; you will be able to taste our wines, among which a “prosecco” obtained from the wine-making of white grapes (trebbiano) which is unique in its genre.
