Viserba and Viserbella were the first seaside resorts to spring up close to Rimini, at the end of the nineteenth century.

They immediately became popular with families from Bologna who chose these destinations for their holidays by the sea. Viserbella blossomed like a flower and the fishermen's houses soon gave way to boarding houses, small inns gave way to hotels situated directly on the beach, and taverns quickly became restaurants.

At the same time, helped by the growing success of the tourist offer, a network of business enterprises consolidated their position.

Viserba and Viserbella are situated just 15 minutes from Rimini city centre. Since 1990, the resorts even have their own railway station and the nearest exit (Rimini North) on the A14 motorway is just 10 minutes away.

The beach is looked after by friendly and tireless beach attendants who always have a smile on their face and are ever ready to help and to impart some of their sea-dog's wisdom.

Nowadays, Viserba and Viserbella are well-tended seaside resorts that each year attract tourists who return to be embraced in the warm atmosphere of lively hospitality, something that has become the hallmark of this riviera and makes it stand out from the rest.
