Hotel Florida

On Italy’s Adriatic coast in Lignano Sabbiadoro, the family-managed Hotel Florida sits tucked in the pinewood at Via dell Arenile 22. It's a short walk to the sandy beach and the city centre, with Miramare Castle, Museo Revoltella and the Basilica Paleocristiana nearby. Family-friendly and quietly positioned, it’s a great base for beach days and local sightseeing.

Recently renewed and run by a family team, the hotel blends relaxed coastal vibes with practical comforts. Rooms range from standard to junior suites, family rooms and sea-view suites, most with balconies, satellite flat screens, safes, air-conditioning/heating, hairdryer and private bathroom. Upper floors house a panoramic solarium and lounge bar; note reception has limited hours—guests are asked to advise flight number and arrival time. Garage parking is available for an extra charge.

Stand-out features include a heated indoor pool with whirlpool and wave effects, an indoor wellness area with steam bath, sauna, relax zone and sunbeds, plus a small fitness centre. Enjoy the 7th-floor lounge bar overlooking the sea, an 8th-floor panoramic solarium with deck lounges, a mini club and outdoor playground for kids, a reserved beach area and complimentary pool/wellness towels. Free Wi-Fi is available throughout, and bikes, diving club access and a mini-golf area add active options.

There’s a conference hall for meetings, free Wi-Fi across the property, and services to smooth your trip like transfers, car rental, laundry and a safe-deposit box. An elevator ensures accessibility to upper floors.

Dining is a strong suit: a generous breakfast buffet runs from 07:30–11:00, and the hotel serves a rich dinner buffet with salads, vegetables and appetizers from 19:00–20:30 (baby menu available). The 7th-floor lounge bar offers a la carte small lunches and hot/cold buffet options, while a comfortable ground-floor bar provides continental choices later in the morning.
