Our history
Take a Dive into the Past
The year was 1877
It was the year 1877 when Professor Mori from Cesena thought of building a beautiful villa for himself and his family on the beach of Cattolica, near the baths, facing the sea. The two lions crouching to guard the two entrances, the beautiful wrought iron gate, sacrificed to the altar of the homeland during the war, give a sense of respect for this structure set in the greenery of its park.
The Hotel Villa Fulgida is born
In 1933 Mrs. Andreina Sormani, with her brother Fausto, decided to purchase Dr. Mori's Villa, transforming it with great intuition and a very Milanese managerial approach, into the Villa Fulgida Hotel. The columns, the travertine marble entrances, the mosaic floors of the dining room and hall, the very high ceilings, the half-moon window frames, the royal yellow marble staircase with wrought iron railings remain as evidence of the past.
How many memories and testimonies about Villa Fulgida collected in photographic and historical albums: the war, the reconstruction, the years of tourism and the economic boom. The Hotel has hosted illustrious names, famous people and simple holidaymakers.
...until our times
At the end of the 1950s, instead of the horse stables, has arisen a second building, of a more modern conception, skilfully integrated with the rest of the structure. In 2008, a loggia was added to the garden, well used for morning breakfast, themed dinners, aperitifs and parties. Since 2016, next to the loggia, there is a play area for children.
While maintaining its structural and architectural characteristics unchanged, over the years the Villa has been enlarged, modernized in the bedrooms, bathrooms and furnishings, equipping it with air conditioning and a lift.
