Отличный шопинг и отдых на море Great shopping and seaside vacation

Last August I spent my vacation in Italy, Rimini. Rimini is a small beach town, hotels are located along the beach line, on the opposite side of the street with shops. I rested at the Continental E Dei Congressi 4*. I didn’t like the room: small, the furniture is old, the TV is antediluvian, the shower cabin constantly leaked very strongly in the bathroom, something dripped from the ceiling. The hair dryer and shower were “nailed” to the wall! There is no horror mirror in the bathroom... There is no window, only a balcony door. Cleaned every day, bed linen and towels were also changed daily, shampoo and soap every other day. The room was clean. The staff is friendly, I had a Russian maid, at the reception there is also one of the administrators, a Russian girl. All my requests to eliminate the shortcomings in the room (leak from the ceiling, the TV did not work) were immediately fulfilled, although this did not always help... The TV did not work, but I did not need it at all. I only had breakfast included, but I was satisfied with the food: a large selection of pastries, cereals and muesli, yoghurts, cheeses and sausages, a hot breakfast, a large selection of drinks, jams and cookies, fruits. The restaurant in the hotel is large, the tablecloths are always snow-white, the waiters work perfectly. Overall, I liked the staff at the hotel.
The beach is paid, per day: sun lounger-4 euros, umbrella + sun lounger-10 euros. You pay at the reception, they issue a pass and with this pass you go to the beach, it is located across the road.
In general, I imagined a 4 * hotel in Italy a little differently, although I was warned that in Rmini "fours" for the most part are not very good. But this did not upset me, because the purpose of my trip was different (purchases).

Most of all I liked shopping in Rimini! I booked a tour of the outlets: the whole day we were taken to the huge shops and shoe factories of Rimini. A huge selection of branded items of excellent quality is two to three times cheaper than in Russia! Clothes, including outerwear (leather and furs), shoes, bags, accessories. . . I have never made so many purchases in one day, although I am a very demanding customer and it is difficult to please me. So I recommend it to everyone!
