What guests ask us
before booking.

Location

Are you in Gatteo or Gatteo a Mare?

We are in Gatteo, at Via Leonardo da Vinci 78, postcode 47043. Gatteo is the inland town; Gatteo a Mare is the seaside district, with beach and hotels, 7.3 km away (nine minutes).

You won't find the seafront here, but a quiet base to set off from.

How far is the sea?

Gatteo a Mare is 7.3 km (nine minutes by car), Villamarina di Cesenatico 7.4 km, Cesenatico 11.5 km, Bellaria 11.9 km. On foot, though, it's not really walkable.

Do you need a car?

Yes, and it's important to know: without a vehicle, the location doesn't shine. Sea, parks, and towns are close — but by car. A guest wrote that "it requires a means of transport," and they were right.

If you arrive by train and don't rent a car, it's better to look along the seafront.

Is there parking?

Yes, free and on-site, right by the building. In August, along the seafront, finding a spot can become the day's first worry; not here.

How do you get here from the highway?

From the A14, exit at Valle del Rubicone, the town's exit: from there it's 4.2 km (six minutes). Coming from the north, the alternative is Cesena Nord, 20.7 km away.

Full directions to reach us

Can you get here by train?

Yes: Gatteo a Mare station, on the Adriatic line, is 6.8 km from the apartment. For the last leg you'll need a lift or a taxi. The main stations are Cesena, 21 km, and Rimini, 26 km.

The apartment

How many guests can it accommodate?

There's one double bedroom, one twin bedroom, and a sofa bed in the living room for those who like extra space. The apartment is 75 m² and has two bathrooms: tell me how many you are and I'll let you know if the layout suits you.

Which floor is it on? Are there stairs?

It's on the 1st floor and there's an elevator. With luggage, a stroller, or someone who finds stairs challenging, it makes a big difference.

Is there a washing machine? And a dishwasher?

Both, yes. The kitchen also has an oven, gas hob, refrigerator, capsule coffee machine, kettle, and air fryer.

How's the Wi-Fi? Is it suitable for working?

There's fiber at 230 Mbps (as stated in the listing) and a workstation for your laptop. It's suitable for video calls and for stays longer than a weekend.

Is there air conditioning?

Yes. The apartment is also soundproofed; it's no coincidence that "quiet area" is the phrase that comes up most often in the reviews.

Can you see the sea from the balcony?

No, from the balcony you see the countryside, cultivated fields, a stone pine, and low houses. It's open and bright, with a small table and two chairs.

The sea is nine minutes by car; "panoramic apartment" refers specifically to the countryside views.

How many bathrooms are there really?

There are two bathroom spaces: the main one with a shower and a second in the sleeping area. Booking lists them as 2, Airbnb as 1.5 — the second one is counted differently. If it's crucial for you, ask me before booking — I'll tell you exactly how it's set up.

House rules and stay

What are check-in and check-out times?

Check-in is between 14:00 and 21:00 (please share your time in advance); check-out is by 10:00. Quiet hours are from 22:00 to 9:00.

Who hands over the keys?

Keys are handed over in person by the person who lives there, mentioned by name several times in the Booking and Airbnb reviews.

Are children welcome? Is there a cot?

Yes, children are welcome at any age. A cot is free, on request. From age seven, however, they count as adults in the guest count.

Are pets allowed?

No, pets are not allowed. Smoking is not permitted and parties are not allowed.

How much does it cost?

The price varies by season and length of stay. There isn't a fixed rate list that would soon be out of date: send me your dates and you'll get the exact price, with no add-on fees after.

Is there a tourist tax? How much is it?

Yes, the Municipality of Gatteo applies it. For holiday homes and apartments it's €1.50 per person per night, and there are three things worth knowing:

  • It's charged only from April 1st to September 30. Outside that period it doesn't apply.
  • It's capped at the 7th night. From the 8th night onward you don't pay.
  • Guests under 18 are exempt. This isn't the most common rule in Italy, where the exemption usually stops much earlier: here a family with two teenagers pays for two people, not four.

People with severe disabilities and those with an 80% disability or more are also exempt, together with their caregiver.

Rates and exemptions from the Municipality of Gatteo regulation (Council resolution no. 4/2013, amended by no. 41/2023; rates set by Executive resolution 124/2024), checked in August 2026. We'll recalculate it together with your quote anyway.

Are the supermarket and the pharmacy nearby?

Yes, by car: the Sant'Angelo supermarket is 2.5 km away (4 min), the pharmacy 3.1 km (5 min). The weekly market is held on Wednesday morning in Piazza Arturo Fracassi.

The reference emergency room is at Bufalini Hospital in Cesena; in Cesenatico there's an urgent care center for minor issues, not an ER.

How can I be sure the property is compliant?

Casa Plac has the CIN IT040016C2HZ986R5L, the National Identification Code required by Italian law for tourist rentals, and the CIR 040016-AT-00192 from the Emilia-Romagna Region. You'll find them at the bottom of every page on this site and also published on Booking and Airbnb.

Is it better to book here or on the platforms?

As you prefer. Reaching out directly, you speak with me, Massimiliano, and you can ask for anything a form doesn't cover. If you prefer the reassurance of a platform, it's the same home: you'll find it on Booking and Airbnb, with all the reviews.

Didn't find your question?

Ask me directly: I answer personally, usually the same day.
