Hotel Ciclamino
Family-friendly garden stay in Riolo Terme
About this hotel
Hotel Ciclamino sits in Riolo Terme, one of the two thermal-spa towns that anchor the wellness side of this area, offering family rooms with air conditioning rather than cramped standard doubles for groups travelling together. The garden and terrace give guests somewhere to unwind after a long day near the grandstands, and the on-site bar keeps evenings simple without needing to drive back into Imola for a drink. Free private parking removes one more variable from a Grand Prix weekend, and the buffet breakfast sets a group up properly before an early departure for track access. It is a straightforward, unfussy choice among the more elaborate spa hotels nearby. It rarely tops anyone's shortlist for luxury, but for a family focused on the race itself rather than the hotel, that simplicity is exactly the point.

Our take
A solid pick for families who want simple comfort, air conditioning and a garden without paying for the extra wellness facilities some neighbouring Riolo Terme hotels carry. The twenty to thirty-minute drive to Imola Circuit is standard for this base, so plan race mornings accordingly. Expect functional rather than plush, and you will not be disappointed.
- ✓Book a family room rather than a standard double if travelling with children, since the space makes a real difference over a multi-night race weekend.
- ✓Use the garden and terrace for a relaxed evening rather than driving back into Imola after a long day at the circuit.
- ✓Confirm free parking availability directly during a Grand Prix weekend, since demand rises sharply across all of Riolo Terme at that time.
