'southern european roman resort?' is the definition.
'san remo' can be an answer for 'resort?' (I have seen 'Ligurian resort' mean 'san remo' so perhaps 'resort' could also mean 'san remo'). I am unsure of the 'southern european roman' bit.

'southern european roman resort?' is the wordplay.
'southern' becomes 's' (abbreviation).
'european' becomes 'E' (abbreviation e.g. EU).
'resort?' is an anagram indicator (I've seen 'resorted' mean this).
'e'+'roman'='eroman'
'eroman' with letters rearranged gives 'anremo'.
's'+'anremo'='SAN REMO'
