We begin our journey by exploring the beaches and waterfronts of the Rimini Riviera, where the beauty of the sea blends with the joy of spending time with your pet. Numerous bathing establishments along the coast enthusiastically welcome furry friends, offering dedicated services and specially equipped spaces to ensure maximum comfort during your holiday. Enjoy relaxing 'sea view' walks along the new waterfront, away from the traffic and immersed in the tranquillity of the surroundings.
Bathing facilities along the route from Bellaria Igea Marina to Cattolica are increasingly opening their doors to pets, offering dedicated services to ensure a pleasant experience for all. It is thus possible to reserve fenced-in umbrellas for those who want a protected space, as well as shower and play areas especially for dogs of all sizes.
The best equipped beaches provide mats, bowls, dryers, dog beds and even dog training courses.
Finally, throughout the day, the Rimini Riviera's new waterfronts offer kilometres of environmentally friendly and versatile paths, complete with green areas and benches for a pleasant rest next to the beaches and open-air venues.
Montefiore Conca, an ancient village on the Rimini Riviera, enjoys the prestigious classification as one of the most beautiful villages in Italy and an Orange Flag by the Touring Club.
In 2022, it obtained another recognition of excellence by becoming part of the Borghi Dog d’Italia network, thus confirming itself as an ideal destination for holidays in the company of one's dog.
Situated in the rolling hills of the Rimini hinterland, Montefiore offers a unique panorama stretching as far as the sea. Here, a dense network of footpaths and nature trails encourages outdoor activities in the company of four-legged friends, while numerous services offered by restaurants, farm holidays and bed & breakfasts in the area warmly welcome furry guests. The majestic Rocca di Montefiore, also accessible to visitors accompanied by their animal friends, represents one of the most powerful symbols of the Malatesta Seigniory in the entire Conca Valley. Dating back to the 14th century, the Rocca (fortress) is also famous for the legend of the souls of two lovers, Costanza Malatesta and Ormanno, who still roam inside the castle.
After a visit to the fortress, a stop at the Big Bench, part of the European Big Bench Community Project, is a must. For hikers, there are no less than 60 km of CAI trails, recently cleared, mapped and marked for an unforgettable trekking experience.
