Hotel Universal - Senigallia

With its own private beach, Universal is a 3 star Senigallia, Marche hotel close to the station and Senigallia’s famous Velvet Beach. If you are gluten intolerant, this is the hotel for you as Universal is part of the Eating Out network, so you’ll find your needs met when staying here. Friendly faces, nice clean rooms and proximity to the beach are what make this accommodation perfect for low-key beach holidays in the Marche, you can even hop on a train and visit Ancona if the mood takes you.

Many come to Italy’s eastern coast to back in the hot sun and bathe in the cool Adriatic waters but what makes Senigallia so popular is its Spiaggia di Velluto or Velvet Beach, described in this way due to the unbelievably soft sand. If this is why you are here yet you are traveling on a budget, then this reasonably-priced Beachfront Senigallia hotel should do the trick! Save on your accommodation but be on top of it all at Universal. The hotel has its own private beach where you can tan for hours undisturbed if only by the sounds of the waves. You’ll find changing rooms for your convenience, as well as beach volley, bowls, table tennis and a kid’s playground.

As tempting as it may be to lounge on the soft sands of the Spiaggia di Velluto for the whole holiday, Senigallia has plenty of other things to do and see as well. The town centre is only 5 minutes walk from the hotel where you’ll find a whole bunch of cute shops, cafés and restaurants to peruse as well as the town hall (Palazzo Comunale) – admired by many. You can also see the Rocca Roveresca di Mondavio which is a very well-preserved 15th Century castle, the Senigallia Duomo (cathedral), the church of Santa Maria delle Grazie, and the Foro Annonario where markets, concerts and the like are held. You can also take a stroll down the banks of the Misa River or down the famous round promenade that characterizes the town - Rotonda a Mare.

Universal is a hotel on the Lungomare di Ponente which is on the western side of Senigallia, popular for beach fun and even more so with cyclists as this area of Italy is excellent for cycling. Universal also caters to its cyclists by providing bicycle storage, bicycle repair, cycling guides and maps showing the best routes for cyclists and hikers.

The hotel restaurant serves a relatively international menu with many typical dishes from the Marche region so you can experience a true taste of the fresh fish and d.o.c. wines from the Marche region. Side dishes and desserts can be chosen from a buffet with a large choice of fresh vegetables, gateaux and desserts carefully prepared by David, the hotel chef who is also proud to offer special menus for celiac sufferers.

The Universal Hotel also has a very modern wellness centre called the Eden Beauty Wellness Unisex - as the name describes, it is a haven for both men and women who enjoy spa packages, massages, facial and body treatments and of course time in the sauna, sun shower and Turkish bath. If you feel like you’re indulging too much, Eden has a gym so you can easily stay in shape. From

Beautiful location on beach,with easy wlak to town and train station. Staff could not be more helpful (especially Vivian). Small balcony provided great views.
