If Miniature Italy after years continues to arouse passion in its many visitors, in Riccione there is a Miniature football that has a lot of succes.

From April 14 to May 4, 2008 the International under 14 Football Tournament Asar Riccione is coming back, at its 36th edition, to animate the green field in Vespucci Street.

Considered one of the most important launching pad for under 14 footballers, the spring competition is organised by Asar Riccione association, in collaboration with the sports assessorship of the town, and sees the most promising players at international level facing.

Kids are young but they yet know how to give the audience strong emotions.

We can already see them performing the same feats of champions: hyperbolic shots, triangular, filtering steps, overlays, diagonal, diving plastic, tunnel. Their performances are less technical but full of grit.
And what about their enthusiasm when they chase the ball and the poetry of their touch?!

In Riccione you will see them running, dribbling, springing forward and saving a difficult shot, right until the last breath and without saving their young energy, because they well know that the opportunity to display their talents is great.

Maybe someone has already in mind a particolar way to celebrate a goal, just like their beloved champions (Pato’s heart, Totti’s dummy, Toni’s airplane)… And who knows if his glance will tenderly wander in the gallery looking for the joyful eyes of his parents, even before for those severe of mister.

We hope that parents, for their part, as well as encouraging children from the terrace, have also inculcated in them the ideals of sportsmanship, fairness and respect for the adversary.

So that sport is lived by these young players in a healthy and clean way, in the football field of Riccione and everywhere their passion will lead them tomorrow.

The difficulties of leaving for a holiday when children are small discourage many people, that are already frightened by the idea of not finding a comfortable and practical milieu.

To smooth the holiday for families who move with their children is the mission of our hotels in Riccione.
Supplied with additional facilities to meet the increased needs of the customer, they are also designed with a philosophy that is based on the greatest comfort and safety.

Rounding off the corners is only an example of the attention given by our reception facilities Made for family.
These are hotels in three or four stars that a few years ago relyed on experienced interior designers in order to be able to accommodate with care young visitors and their parents.

Each room is designed to be safe, secure, hygienic and provided with each useful service.
Funny colors and details are functional to recreate the typical atmosphere of each nursery.

As regards security, rounded corners, protective gates, little beds with anti-fall bars, covered wall sockets, prevent the baby can in any way hurt himself.
Cots, changing tables, napkin baskets, night lights, bottle-warmer (no extra for the first child), small basins for the bath, can help.

All toys available to children, in the play room, in the garden and on the beach in the dedicated area, are according to law and suitable for all ages.

Regarding hygiene, antiacarus treatments during cleaning and sterilization of linens, bottle or cutlery for meals, contribute in a great way to reassure parents.

About restoration, some funny and healthy menus are specially made by nutritionists of childhood.
The entire staff is committed to make pleasant and relaxing the stay for guest families.

If elsewhere spending holidays with children can be problematic, in Riccione certainly it is not.

In the Pearl of the Adriatic with Family Hotels there is a smoothed holiday… a lucky holiday!

If from here to Riccione we will cross over than twenty motorcycles then… your desire will realize!

Here’s a game on the road to keep smaller passengers occupied and to simplify some things to Mom and Dad.
Recreational activities absorb the child and can distract him from the difficulties that are part of each trip.

The monotony of motorway, the impossibility to move, especially if one is still at the age of car’s chair, the less care that parents can give to the little baby, all that rain…

Resorting to funny expedients that keep occupied the child in car or in any other means of transport is clearly a choice dictated by common sense, more than advisable if there are many kilometres to cover.

Many games have to do with counting, as the “game of numbers on movement”, where at the departure each participant chooses a figure that he will search around him during the trip and that he will signal aloud finding it.

Many others with the vocabulary, such as “reverse”, where you will have to guess the words that someone will read backwards, or “one minute of words” where given an initial letter people have to make a list of all the items that will cross their mind.

Others require a preventive preparation, as “tombola in car” with the various means of transport that must be designed on scorecards instead of numbers. And again: titles of songs to be fished in a bag and to be sung as well as people can, memory tests, the mythical “it is arriving a cargo full of…” that at least once in our life has committed all of us!

In short there are many games on the road, but there is nothing to prevent you from inventing some new!

And if they will not make the happy family of iconography of American’50s, at least they will help to make travel more carefree and to make easily manageable children.
Riccione is ready to welcome a lot of families for the approaching long weekend and reminds them that well begun is half done: involving the child in games on the road can be a good prelude for a wonderful holiday.

The blue skies and the sweet air of spring are an irresistible invitation to have the lunch break outdoors, on the park benches, strictly to sunlight.
When, always too soon, it is time to return to the office, we feel it is really time to organize a weekend at the sea for the first sun bath.
The more that the long weekend of April 25 is approaching and the most lucky people can transform it into a real holiday that will keep them away from work and from the city until May 2.
We imagine you already lying on the sun bed, the boldest in a swimsuit, and we want to remind you that exposure to sunlight always requires special attention to prevent damage to skin. Clearly a greater care will be necessary now that we are at the beginning of the season and for the most delicate phototypes.

To prevent the risks associated with sun burns, the Ministry of Health has drafted a regulation for a proper exposure to sunlight.
Let us examine all together the seven rules to follow:
1. Know your phototype and pay a particular attention on sensitive skin
2. Expose yourself gradually to sunlight
3. Use some appropriate protective creams
4. Avoid exposure to the sun in the hottest hours, between 12 and 17
5. Wear glasses with lenses that can shield the passage of UVA and UVB radiations
6. Interrupt exposure in the event of skin redness associated with light burning and itch
7. Expose children only after one year of age, never in the not recommended hours, using total screen creams until at least three years and then with an high protective index.

For people are still in search of the perfect destination for the first sunbathing of the season, we suggest the advantageous Riccione Hotels’packages that have been thought both for the long weekend of April 25 and for the period from April 25 to May 1.
For a relaxing and enjoyable holiday in the Adriatic Pearl, let us make a date with the first sun, that will not burn us and that we will not ever forget.
