Ernest Hemingway, who discovered this area during the Great War, thought it was similar to Florida; Lignano Hotel has indeed a very large strand (8 km) and only one purpose: its guests’ fun. Lignano Hotel, 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: Lignano Hotel Sabbiadoro, the town of the thousand restaurants, of open-air clubs, of long shopping tours; Lignano Hotel Pineta, with the elegant promenade and the shadowy gardens making it more agreeable to go back to the beach; Lignano Hotel Riviera, a place where you can plunge into a sport and party beach life.
