Making new friends........

Americans have recently discovered the hotel through Travel Adriatica, our small family based web site.  (testimonials) These are our Italian relatives! It's the family style atmosphere that draws the same guests (and us too) back each year, and the close personal relationships developed between our relations and yours means you'll have new friends overseas.   See you at the beach in Cattolica!
