Hotel in Fano? We present the CasaDei hotel, in the Marche region, the best 3-star hotel with a beach that you can choose. Among the hotels in Fano, the Hotel CasaDei prides itself on being one of the most; appreciated 3-star hotels in the Marches for hospitality, services and location (practically one of the few hotels overlooking the sea in Fano).
If you’ve ever passed through Fano on a hot summer day, perhaps strolling along the seafront among salty scents and children’s laughter, it’s very likely that you’ve come across a steaming, aromatic little glass: that’s the Moretta, Fano’s take on a spiked coffee — but it’s much more than that. An explosive and aromatic mix of coffee, rum, anise, and brandy, sweetened with sugar and scented with a lemon peel. And here’s the good news: at Hotel CasaDei, right here in Fano, you can enjoy it every day, because we’re part of the Moretta Circuit. A delicious way to discover local traditions… with a sea view!
The history of the Moretta is closely tied to Fano’s seafaring tradition. We’re not talking about a simple after-meal drink, but a real energizing beverage born in the harbors and perfected in local bars. Its origins blend fact and legend: it’s said that fishermen, to warm up during cold nights at sea, would mix leftover spirits with hot coffee. A simple, almost improvised act that gave birth to a symbol of the city. Others tell of a loving woman who, to restore her husband after a day at sea, would prepare him this invigorating mix. What’s certain is that in 2006, the Moretta was officially recognized as a cocktail by AIBES, and in 2011 it became an agro-food excellence product of the Marche region. Not bad for a drink born from waves and tales!
If you want to spot a real Moretta, take a good look: its three layers — liquor, coffee, and foam — are the hallmark of a precise ritual. It starts with the bottom layer, where sugar, lemon peel, and the three liquors — brandy, rum, and anise (or sambuca, in some homemade versions) — are mixed. Then comes the coffee, poured slowly to preserve the layering. Finally, the creamy foam on top: a velvety touch that finishes this glass masterpiece. Bars in Fano, like our Hotel CasaDei, guard the recipe carefully — but with a little practice and a moka pot, you can try making one at home too. Of course, the authentic flavor is something you can only find here, ideally with the sound of waves in the background.
That’s why we’re so proud to tell you that at Hotel CasaDei, you can enjoy a perfectly made Moretta. Being part of the Moretta Circuit means promoting not just a local flavor, but a whole culture of quality, conscious drinking. Our Moretta is prepared with selected ingredients, great attention to detail, and — of course — served in the traditional small glass to highlight its iconic three-layer structure. And as you sip this little gem from Fano, you can admire the coastal view, relax by our pool, or take a stroll to the beach. It’s a multisensory experience where flavor meets the beauty of the region.
