The surroundings

Stay at the Hotel Donegal it means fun, family atmosphere, but also be two steps away from the many fantastic places to see.
For us it was difficult to choose, however, we have made a selection of what that Romagna has to offer within an hour's drive from our hotel.

The Riviera of the parks

The region is also known as the Riviera of Parks: there are many and for all tastes! To the South, a 15 min. by car, there is l’Italia in Miniatura, where you can take a tour around our beautiful country in a single day. Incredible, isn't it? If you are traveling with small children, you can bring them to Fiabilandia, 30 min. drive, and give them a day from a fairy tale, between the battles on the ship of Captain Hook and the Labyrinth of Fu-Ming.

To 20 min. drive to the North, there is Mirabilandia, the largest amusement park in Italy with attractions, adrenaline-pumping, to the greatest and most appropriate games for children, live shows and musicals, all in a single theme park.

Santarcangelo di Romagna

Santarcangelo is located on the top of Mount Jupiter, right above the homonymous caves. The historic village is crossed by narrow streets and stairways that climb to the top, dominated by the Rocca Malatestiana (malatesta fortress: that's nice to get lost among flowered balconies, narrow streets and magical sandstone caves!

If you can, do the tour of the underground caves, whose origins are still the subject of mystery and debate: a real adventure for little and big explorers.
