Choosing a hotel on Viale Romagna in Lido di Savio means staying on one of the town's main streets, conveniently located for the beach, amenities, and nearby towns. The street runs through much of the town and reaches the mouth of the Savio River: before booking, it's important to check the street number, as the location and distance from the sea can vary significantly.
Lido di Savio is the southernmost beach in the municipality of Ravenna and is located between the Savio River and the Cervia pine forest, about 20 km from Ravenna. It is a small seaside resort, with about 2 km of beach, popular with those seeking a seaside holiday with easily accessible amenities and wanting to stay close to Milano Marittima.
The beach is sandy and shallow. Much of the shore is organized into beach resorts, but there is also a public beach south of the Savio River mouth. You can choose between the services of equipped beach resorts and a stretch of coast with free access.
One of the advantages of Lido di Savio is its location, practically adjacent to Milano Marittima. For an evening stroll, dinner, or a different day out, you can easily reach the nearby town without having to travel all the way to Ravenna. Further on, you can also reach Cervia, with its historic center, canal port, and salt pans.
For families, there's another important factor: Mirabilandia is located inland, just behind the coast. Safari Ravenna is also located in the same area. It's therefore easy to fit a day at the parks into a week-long vacation, without having to worry about long transfers.
Lido di Savio is also ideal for those who want to spend part of their holiday immersed in nature. The pine forest extends towards Cervia, while a little further north, between Lido di Classe and the mouth of the Bevano River, lies one of the most unspoiled stretches of coastline in the Ravenna area. Cycling is also possible between the various beaches and reaches Milano Marittima and Cervia.
For a cultural day out, the main destination is Ravenna, about 20 km away. Its historic center houses some of Italy's most important early Christian and Byzantine monuments, especially famous for their mosaics. You can visit, among others, San Vitale, the Mausoleum of Galla Placidia, and Dante's Tomb.
Viale Romagna is also convenient for those staying in B&Bs or self-catering accommodations. Restaurants, piadina shops, and bars are right along the street, so you don't have to travel to Cervia or Milano Marittima every evening for dinner.
For those arriving by train, the nearest stop is Lido di Classe/Lido di Savio, on the Ravenna-Rimini line. It's important to note, however, that the station is not located in the seaside hotel zone: you'll need to take a second train to reach Lido di Savio. The same station is also used to reach Mirabilandia.
Viale Romagna is therefore a good option for those looking to use Lido di Savio as a base for a vacation that's not exclusively beach-based. From here, you can combine the beach, Milano Marittima, Cervia, Mirabilandia, nature, and a day in Ravenna, while still enjoying the convenience of staying in a more secluded location than the larger tourist centers.
