Ernest Hemingway, who discovered this area during the Great War, thought it was similar to Florida; Hotel Lignano has indeed a very large strand (8 km) and only one purpose: its guests’ fun. Hotel Lignano, which has received the Blue Flag, symbol of environmental protection, for the past sixteen years, is actually made up of three fantastic holiday-oriented towns: Hotel Lignano Sabbiadoro, the town of the thousand restaurants, of open-air clubs, of long shopping tours; Hotel Lignano Pineta, with the elegant promenade and the shadowy gardens making it more agreeable to go back to the beach; Hotel Lignano Riviera, a place where you can plunge into a sport and party beach life.
