Igea Marina’s unsurpassable climate and the our central position (just minutes from many sporting hot spots), make Hotel FRANCA the ideal place to spend your active vacation enjoying the warmth of the soft Romagnola sand, the cool, clear water of the Adriatic, and the pleasure of tasting the delicacies served by our kitchen. The Hotel’s many free services and helpful staff are at your disposal to cater to your needs, whether organisational, food-related, or logistical.

For guests who are watching their diet we also offer a customised menu designed to meet the daily nutritional needs of athletes who may be training or competing.

Activities offered by the Hotel, by the town, and by the surrounding area include many sports and outdoor activities:

- GOLF: Golf Verucchio, 18-hole course, 7 executive; a few kilometres from the Hotel, situated in the stunning scenery of the Marecchia River, spread over the beautiful Tuscan and Emiliane hills and the golden sand of the riverbanks.
- HORSEBACK RIDING: the riding school “I DUE PONTI” is located a few kilometres from the Hotel.
- CYCLING: few biking trails could be more beautiful than our splendid hills, birthplace of the late MARCO PANTANI. Biking out from Hotel Villa Franca, the smells of the Adriatic Sea greet you before you find yourself immersed in the countryside among wheat fields and sunflowers, at first reaching the gentle slopes before hitting the challenging NOVE COLLI, the CIOCCA, the CORNACCHIARA, and the BARBOTTO...your efforts will be rewarded with a breathtaking view: the ocean spread out in front of you—and behind you, the watershed that divides Romagna and Tuscany. On your return, try a light snack to regain your energy, followed by a dip in the pool or the sea to cool off. Booklets with directions, detailed bike trail maps, and personal assistance are all available at the information desk of the Hotel.
- MOUNTAIN BIKING: in the riverbeds of the Uso and Marecchia Rivers run two bike paths of varying difficulties sure to please any cycling lover.
- BOATING: Sailboats, canoes, and speedboats may be rented for use on the beach, for combining the pleasure of healthy exercise with the amazing panorama offered by the sea and the coast.
- SCUBA DIVING: The scuba-diving school OINK-DIVING, just next door to Hotel FRANCA, regularly offers classes and diving excursions for all levels of experience. Reservations are suggested.
- FISHING: a few hundred metres from Hotel FRANCA is one of many natural bodies of water in our area, where you are able to spend a day of relaxation in the middle of the beautiful Parco del Gelso. A fishing permit is necessary. Otherwise, several kilometres away are two artificial lakes where no permit is required (with entry fee).
- BEACH VOLLEYBALL: Polo-Est, Beky-Bay and many beach organisations are several of the innumerable services at the disposal of guests at the beach. The games (and the playing areas) are free.
- JOGGING: For anyone who likes the ocean and the sand, nothing is more pleasant than a run on the beach. If you prefer running on a path instead, the beautiful Parco del Gelso is only a few hundred metres from the Hotel and is the ideal place to stretch your legs in a peaceful nature setting.
