We stayed here as a family of 5 (children aged 16, 12 and 12 years). All the previous comments about how nice the apartment is were true - it is very clean, spacious, and bright, and it had everything we needed (including a big clothes airer for drying washing). There are balconies from most of the rooms - these were great for seeing how hot it was outside and watching the world go by. Filippo was quick to respond to any questions I had. The location is great if you don't want to drive - it was really easy to get the Aerobus from the airport (6 Euros each - tickets bought from machine at airport or train station) and the bus stops very close to the apartment. The train station is only 10 min walk away and the city centre is 15 min walk. We had read that mid-August is not a great time to visit due to the heat and the fact that many shops, restaurants etc. close for the holidays (15 August is a national holiday). It was hot, but the porticos provide plenty of shade down almost every street, which makes a big difference. Plus, there is air con in the bedrooms, so we were able to sleep well. A lot of places were closed during our stay, and some that were open at the start of the week, were closed by the end. There were plenty of places open in the centre, and all the tourist attractions were available - it was just that many of the places that we'd read about, or someone had recommended, were not open when we arrived. We visited Rimini on the train as a day trip, which went really well - on the regional train which took about 1.5 hours (cost about 70 Euros). We paid 30 Euros for four loungers and two umbrellas for the day in beach club 40, and this covered showers, toilets, volleyball, boules and table tennis. There are many beach clubs to choose from and some loungers were booked for the week, so aim to arrive for around 10am - you can walk along the top of the beach along a wooden path, and see what each beach club has to offer - some are more plush than others, and it's easier to see what they offer from here than from the road. It's also worth getting the 'redbus' San Luca Express from the city centre (10 Euros each) to visit the church (free unless you want to go up to the top). The hill is steep, so we took the train there and walked back down the hill along the porticos and had wonderful cakes and coffee at a cafe near the end of the porticos. There is a VHS video player, and all the films in the apartment were understandably Italian, so if you are English you could bring some of your own to watch. Some of the TV channels are in...
