ROOMS FOR RENT DA LORELLA (ALL THE YEAR LONG)
GABICCE MARE, THE BLUE GREEN BAY, is the first seaside resort in the North of the Italian region LE MARCHE, a seaside resort par excellence. In 2020 it was awarded the 27th Blue Flag.
Families love it for its peaceful atmosphere, it is ideal for holidays with children. The squares and streets of the town centre are limited traffic zones and this improves the quality of the air you breathe. There is a steady breeze caressing Gabicce and its beach thanks to its strategic positioning just beneath the green lung of the Regional Park of Monte San Bartolo, whose access points are exactly Gabicce Mare and Pesaro. You can sightsee the charming medieval villages of Casteldimezzo and Fiorenzuola di Focara, in the middle of the Park, along the breath-taking scenic route to Pesaro. You can also go on trips to endless villages and historic, artistic towns and cities in the hinterland.

PROXIMITY SERVICES
All the facilities are a stone's throw away. There are several cafes and confectionery shops (for the closest one, you just need to cross the main street Via Romagna), a very good restaurant- pizzeria and in Gabicce, Cattolica and Gradara you can find a wide selection of restaurants both for fish and for meat, piadina places (Piadina is a rustic Italian flatbread sandwich, prepared with dough cooked fresh on a griddle and typically filled with a variety of cold cuts, cheeses, and vegetables) and hash houses (in the bedrooms, you will find my recommendations and suggestions printed and I can also reconfirm them to you in person.
What’s more, there are additional facilities available within walking distance: virtually opposite and behind the house, there are two take-away pizzerias, two very close baker's and a delicious one 200 meters away, the CONAD and UNIEURO (equipment for the house, DIY, etc..) supermarkets are 100 meters away, just past the square where the weekly street market is held on Thursday morning and where the Catholic Church is located (to reach this square, go to the roundabout displaying the logo “LA BAIA VERDE BLU DI GABICCE MARE†and from there turn right, you’ll find it 50 m away, on the left), an ice-cream parlour, a chemist’s, a newsstand, men’s and women’s hairdressers and barber’s shop, a beautician’s, two laundries, a tobacconist. Within a ten minutes’ walking distance you can also reach the huge, weekly street market in Cattolica held on Saturday morning. If what you are looking for are great shopping malls, I am afraid they are in Pesaro and in Rimini only, about 20 km away.
The BEACH is within a 10-to-12 minutes’ walking distance from the accommodation (650 meters) and the same applies for the RAILWAY STATION and the COACH STATION (within a 10-to-15 walking distance).
AMUSEMENTS FOR THE LEISURE TIME
A trekking to the Park of Monte San Bartolo is highly recommended, to sightsee medieval villages and to see unforgettable sunsets.
IF ANTI COVID-19 REGULATIONS ALLOW THAT:
The Park of Monte San Bartolo sets up guided outings and laboratories for children throughout the summer, on the theme of environmental education. They are outings aimed at discovering reptiles or insects, trips to the bats’ world or the one of animal footprints. Most of them are with free admission but with mandatory reservations.
For further information please visit: www.parcosanbartolo.it
Daniele Foschi, a professional potter and ceramist, has been setting up Ceramic Labs for children for almost two decades. They are held for free in the evening in Piazza Valbruna in Gabicce Monte ( a village of the same council, with a jewel of belvedere overlooking Gabicce Mare and the whole Adriatic coast as far as Rimini and sometimes farther on as far as Cesenatico ). This is a hands-on activity enabling the little ones to create their own souvenirs to take back home, thus training their own manuality and creativity. The labs are on a donation basis and the money raised will be donated to a mental health hospital.
For further information please visit: http://storie.cna.it/content/daniele-foschi.
Among the theme and amusement parks, Riccione (9 km away) is home to Aquafan and Oltremare Park; the closest one is the Cattolica Aquarium, about 3 km from Gabicce Mare. Children love it because it hosts fish species coming from all over the world, sharks, otters, penguins and a special section is devoted to reptiles.

HOW TO GET THERE
HOW TO GET TO THE ACCOMMODATION WITH ROOMS FOR RENT “DA LORELLAâ€, VIA BELLINI 3 – 61011 GABICCE MARE (NEIGHBOURHOOD: PONTE TAVOLLO).
For guests arriving by train: The railway station on the direct line PIACENZA (Northern Italy) to ANCONA (Central Italy) is named: “Cattolica – San Giovanni – Gabicce†(one station only for three places, which is the stop 10 min past Riccione and the one just before Pesaro; past Riccione, it sometimes also stops in Misano Adriatico). Walk down the avenue in front of the station, at the first roundabout turn right and walk on along Via Romagna and possibly on the right hand side (10 minutes’ walk). After walking past the bridge over the TAVOLLO torrent, you walk past a camera shop on the right on the corner (FOTOMANIA), you cross Via del Cardellino and you walk across the zebra or pedestrian crossing taking you to the opposite site of the Via Romagna street. Then you turn left and you see the takeaway pizzeria “PIZZA UEPPAâ€. You have thus reached your destination :Via Bellini. My house (two floors) has an ocean-blue front door and is the second house on your left (N0.3, not the one opposite the pizzeria, but the one immediately after it.) Next to the front door you will also notice the plaques: DUBLINO CENTRO TRADUZIONI (Translation Agency) and DA LORELLA).
For guests arriving on their own means of transport: A14 Motorway exit towards ANCONA: Cattolica – San Giovanni - Gabicce. At the roundabout in front of the DRIVE EAT, turn right, after 300 m – on the roundabout with the red lighthouse in the middle, take the second exit and after another 200 m you merge onto the Statale Adriatica (turning right, which is the mandatory one way). On the following roundabout, take the second exit towards PESARO. Approximately 1 km further on, you drive beneath a bridge and immediately after that you’ll see the signs indicating: GRADARA AND GABICCE MARE. Follow for GABICCE MARE driving beneath a train subway, go straight ahead past the two following small roundabouts and on the third roundabout (the one with a GREEN AND BLUE logo reading GABICCE MARE LA BAIA VERDE BLU) take the third exit, the one along Via Romagna. At the beginning, on the right, you will notice an auto electrician’s behind which there is a dead-end street which cannot be accessed from Via Romagna, so take the second accessibile one on your right : it’s exactly Via Bellini and you have reached your destination (on the corner between Via Romagna and Via Bellini there is a take-away pizzeria named “PIZZA UEPPAâ€). My house (two floors) has an ocean-blue front door and is the second one on your left (No. 3, i.e. not the one opposite the pizzeria, but the one immediately past it.) There are also two plaques : DUBLINO CENTRO TRADUZIONI and DA LORELLA.
REGULATIONS / REMARKS ON THE ACCOMMODATION:
I have always considered very important ensuring an irreprochable level of cleanliness. Even in the current scenario, I guarantee to welcome guests on a safety basis: the premises are disinfected each time by complying with the anti-COVID 19 safety protocol. The bathroom is a private one, for use only by the double bedroom guests (and the one of the additional single bedroom for members of the same household).
For health reasons concerning the landlady Lorella, each and every zone within the house and immediately outside it is strictly for non-smokers (no IQOS, no e-cigarettes, any burnt or heated tobacco is forbidden). You are expressly invited not to smoke immediately outside the front door: in the summer I usually sleep on the ground floor with open windows and I would smell it right away.
Therefore:
1) Any kind of tobacco is forbidden
2) Please do not make noises and do not watch TV with too loud a volume after midnight
3) Do not throw any parties in the bedroom
4) Fix the external window panes properly in place, preventing them from banging on windy days, and close them when it is stormy.
5) Unplug the TV in the event of violent, hazardous storms.
6) CHANGE OF THE SHEETS: once per week
7) CHANGE OF OTHER LINEN: please leave the bath towels and towels to be replaced in the black laundry basket outside the bedroom, so that I might see and replace them.

Otherwise, there is a huge, free-of-charge parking lot located between the Parish Catholic Church SANTA MARIA and the close-by supermarket CONAD TAVOLLO (If I am not wrong, it should be named Piazza Ruggero Leoncavallo). Mind! There is a weekly street market here on Thursday mornings; therefore, you should park your car elsewhere from Wednesday evenings till 2.00 – 3.00 p.m. on Thursdays.
For guests without their own means of transport:
