Saludecio, a walled village in the Conca valley above Rimini

From the coast at Cattolica and Riccione you only have to climb the hills of the Conca valley to reach Saludecio, a walled village at about 340 metres that looks out to sea on one side and to the Apennines on the other. The municipality includes the old centre and several hamlets scattered among vineyards, olive groves and fields, plus some newer areas towards the valley floor.

Buyers here usually want more space and fewer crowds than on the Riviera, while staying about twenty minutes from the sea. Properties range from brick and stone houses in the centre to old farmhouses and recent detached homes and small blocks. You need a car for almost everything; the main services are in the valley towns and on the coast. The clay hills of the Conca valley are prone to ground movement, and the report checks the official landslide maps for the address.

The population has grown: Istat, the national statistics office, counted 3,153 residents in 2023, up 4.1% since 2011. The average age is 46.3 (province: 46.6) and over-65s make up 22.4%. Foreign nationals account for 10.6%, a sizeable share. Average incomes are below the Rimini average.

Like much of Rimini province, Saludecio is in seismic zone 2 of the Civil Protection classification, with an expected ground acceleration of 0.185 g. In village houses and farmhouses it is worth checking walls, floors and roofs and asking whether strengthening work has been done. Winters are cold, climate zone E.
