What to do in Lido di Classe and its surroundings
Lido di Classe, a quiet village filled with gardens, parks, and tree-lined avenues, has been awarded for years with the Blue Flag and Green Flag of Italian Paediatricians, two awards that certify it as a top destination for family beach vacations. Not to mention its proximity to Mirabilandia, Ravenna, Cervia, and Milano Marittima with its nightlife: Hotel Sorriso is right on the front lines, very close to Romagna's main attractions, in the heart of the Beaches of Ravenna.
The beach in Lido di Classe (50 meters)
Reachable by a simple walk in the shade of the pinewood. Extremely large, with soft sand and shallow waters. Apart from the free beach there is also the beach equipped with games for children, bars and restaurants, sunbeds, parasols, and sports fields.
If you want to go to the beach with your dog, we suggest contacting the beach resort managers; alternatively, at the free beach you can swim and walk on the seashore with your pets.
Active holidays in Lido di Classe
Here you can enjoy windsurfing, sailing, and water skiing; play tennis, golf, soccer, basketball, or volleyball; or have fun with mini golf and bocce ball game. There are also riding stables, golf courses surrounded by nature, sport fishing and motorboat excursions. And then there's the pinewood: quiet, shady, and perfect for exploring by bike, perhaps with those available for free at the Hotel Sorriso, even equipped with child seats!
Cities of Art of Romagna
In between a dip in the pool and an outdoor aperitif, do you love strolling through art cities and villages? The Hotel Sorriso in Lido di Classe is the perfect starting point! Here are some ideas: Faenza (47 km) the city of ceramics and the medieval village of Brisighella (57 km); Santarcangelo di Romagna (40 km), with its charming historic centre and mysterious underground caves; the “titanic” Republic of San Marino (65 km) and the Roman city of Rimini (43 km). And if you love mysteries, don't miss Castello di Montebello (52 km) with the ghost of Azzurrina and Rocca di San Leo (73 km), which was the scene of the stories of the Count of Cagliostro.
Ravenna ( 15 km )
A true open-air museum, where history can be read while strolling through ancient streets, buildings, and churches that tell the story of centuries of greatness. Eight monuments recognized as UNESCO World Heritage Sites are concentrated here: the Basilica of San Vitale, the Mausoleum of Galla Placidia, the Basilica of Sant'Apollinare Nuovo, the Neonian Baptistery, the Arian Baptistery, the Archbishop's Chapel of Sant'Andrea, the Mausoleum of Theodoric and the Basilica of Sant'Apollinare in Classe. In addition you can find the National Museum, with finds from the Roman and Byzantine periods, Dante's tomb, and the Dante Museum, dedicated to the life and heritage of the Supreme Poet.
The Beaches of Ravenna
Nine villages that stretch for 37 km along the Romagna coast, each with its own identity but united by the same vocation for hospitality. In addition to Lido di Classe, the best destination for families, it includes Lido di Dante, Lido di Savio, Lido Adriano, Marina di Ravenna, Punta Marina Terme, Porto Corsini, Casalborsetti and Marina Romea. Here take turns wide sandy beaches, equipped beach establishments, shady pinewoods and trails through the nature with restaurants, clubs and services for every need.
