Enjoying a lovely location near Ancona's white-shingle beach, this genteel hotel is a classic seaside pile. There's something slightly old-fashioned about the place, but staff extend a warm welcome and its sunny, light-filled rooms are attractive with hardwood floors and crisp white linen. Extras include sea views, a heated pool and garage parking (€15 per night).
Substantial discounts are offered on winter weekends and around holidays.
