About The Area
San Giovanni in Marignano is a lovely choice for golfers who want an Italy golf holiday with resort comfort, Adriatic coast access and a quieter village feel. Set in Emilia-Romagna, in the province of Rimini, it sits in the Conca Valley just a few miles from the beaches of Cattolica, with rolling hills and countryside around it. The town is also listed among “The Most Beautiful Villages in Italy”, giving it more charm than a simple beach-and-golf base.
The main golfing highlight is Riviera Golf Resort, located in San Giovanni in Marignano near Cattolica, Riccione and Rimini. The resort offers an 18-hole par-70 course, driving range, 9-hole executive course, footgolf course and golf academy, making it a flexible option for different abilities and mixed groups. The course was designed by Luigi Rota Caremoli and Graham Cook, with fairways shaped around the natural terrain, giving golfers a varied and enjoyable round rather than a flat, repetitive resort layout.
Away from the fairways, San Giovanni in Marignano adds proper Italian holiday appeal. Its old centre has historic streets, ancient gateways, towers, markets and food traditions, while the surrounding area is known for wheat, wine and welcoming tables. The famous Festa delle Streghe brings music, street performers, local flavours and summer atmosphere to the village each year.
For UK golfers, San Giovanni in Marignano works beautifully as part of a tailor-made Italy golf holiday, combining golf, spa time, Romagna food, Adriatic beaches and easy trips to Rimini, Riccione and Cattolica. Hashtag Golf Travel can help plan the right resort, tee times, transfers and wider Emilia-Romagna itinerary.
