Here in Gabicce Mare, too, spring awakens the senses and opens the door to a unique and rejuvenating experience.
With the arrival of the first warm days and the vibrant colors of the flowers beginning to bloom, Gabicce Mare becomes the ideal place to rediscover the beauty of living in harmony with nature and to savor the culinary delights of the season.
Through June this year, we’re offering a “bed and breakfast” package, giving you the chance to enjoy fun springtime excursions to explore the surroundings and sample authentic local delicacies.
In the spring, we offer “bed and breakfast” only—but not just any breakfast! Imagine starting your day with a “breakfast of wonders,” served outdoors, with a breathtaking view of the Gabicce harbor.
Here, surrounded by a variety of fresh, local products, your morning will be as sweet as the dreams you’ve just left behind.
During the day, you can explore the beauty of the surrounding area, the nature of the nearby Monte San Bartolo Park, or spend a day at the amusement parks in nearby Romagna.
Above all, exciting food and wine experiences await you, depending on what you’re in the mood for (street food with piadina cones to be eaten strictly on the sand, a traditional tavern, a seafood restaurant, and much more).
