La Romantica in Senigallia, rooms with hot tub and sauna
La Romantica Camere e Wellness is a small place in the centre of Senigallia, in the Marche, with rooms that have a hot tub and sauna. Close to the station and sea, it works best for a couple's getaway or an anniversary. Less suited to anyone wanting classic hotel services or just a bed for the night.

Where La Romantica is and how to get there
La Romantica Camere e Wellness is in Senigallia, in the Marche, on Piazza Manni, in the middle of the centre. If you come by train, or want to leave the car and walk, its location is one of its strong points.
Several guests describe it as a short walk from the station, the sea and the Foro Annonario, with bars and restaurants you can reach without a car. For anyone coming from further away, the property listing cites the station and Ancona airport as landmarks.
By car, guests say there is paid parking under the building and free spaces a few minutes' walk away. The owner also explains how to get in and find your way via WhatsApp, a useful detail if you arrive at an awkward hour.
What the rooms are like and the wellness area in Senigallia
Here the bed is only half the story. The rooms at La Romantica are designed for two people to unwind, with a hot tub, a sauna and a very large shower, and this small private space is the real reason people book.
Reviews talk about modern, clean and well-finished rooms. Some mention the Turkish bath, others the couple's tub next to the bed, and others a terrace with a view of the river. Not all the rooms are identical, so before booking ask what your chosen room includes.
- The basic comfort. Air conditioning, a flat-screen TV and a fridge in every room, plus a minibar and an electric kettle.
- The bathroom. Private, with a bidet. One guest finds it small but functional, and the extra-large shower makes you forget the space.
- The welcome in the room. More than one guest remembers sparkling wine, fresh and dried fruit, herbal teas, chocolates and slippers waiting on arrival.
- The rest. Free Wi-Fi and, according to the listing, an in-house bar where you can have a drink after a day in town.
What guests say
Google rates it 4.8 out of 5, from 82 reviews, and most comments are enthusiastic. Taken together, the same themes keep coming up.
- The owner. Many guests find her kind, helpful and good at explaining how the hot tub and sauna work, which are fairly high-tech.
- Cleanliness. Rooms that are clean and carefully kept, in a property that feels new.
- Breakfast. It is not served on the premises. According to several guests, you go to a small bar below the building or around the corner, where the cappuccino and brioche are generous.
- Location. Central, handy for dinner out and an evening stroll.
A couple of guests use the phrase "private spa", and I think it fits. Some treated their stay as an afternoon and evening of relaxation rather than a simple night in a room.
What to know before booking
The downsides exist and should be said. Two one-star reviews describe a terrible experience, mainly because of how the management treated them on the phone and in person. Another adds that the shower regulator was broken, that the hot tub water did not get hot enough and that the tub seemed small.
These are isolated voices compared with all the others, but they deserve attention, especially because the property has only a few rooms and guests deal directly with the people who run it. Here is the picture at a glance.
| What works | What to know |
|---|---|
| Centre of Senigallia, with the station and sea nearby | Paid parking underneath, free a few minutes' walk away |
| Rooms with hot tub, sauna and a large shower | The bathroom can feel small, and the hot tub temperature does not suit everyone |
| Welcome with sparkling wine, fruit and herbal teas | A couple of critical reviews about how the management behaves |
| Breakfast included, according to several guests | It is taken in a bar nearby, not on the premises |
Who it suits and who it does not
I would choose La Romantica for a weekend as a couple, an anniversary or a special evening. Guests who have been talk mainly about relaxation and pampering, not about a holiday full of services.
I would not recommend it to anyone who only wants a bed for a night in transit, or to anyone who wants a hotel with a reception open all the time and a restaurant. Nor is it for anyone with little patience if something in the room does not work first time. In that case, read the most critical reviews carefully.
What to do in Senigallia and nearby
Senigallia is a seaside town in the Marche, famous for its beach. Guests mention the stroll through the historic centre, the Foro Annonario and the Rocca, all close to the property, and they agree that in summer the sea is the perfect finish to a stay.
To get around the area, the listing mentions bike rental for local trips. If Senigallia has no rooms free or you want to change area, I would point you to B&B La Casa in Centro in Ancona, Affittacamere Villa Ghirardelli in Sirolo and B&B Villa Alma in San Cristoforo, although here I can only give you their names and villages.
Passionate about travel and about the kind of places that turn a getaway into something unforgettable. I love writing about hotels, country houses and charming hideaways, helping every traveller find the perfect place to rest and feel at home.
