New formula

Discover our new all-inclusive cycling package in the heart of Emilia-Romagna, one of Italy’s most hospitable regions, renowned for its culinary delights. Spend 7 days at the Hotel Dory, a 4-star hotel specializing in cycling, where everything is designed to combine comfort, flexibility, and the joy of cycling.

Enjoy 7 nights in a superior room, with all meals included—hearty breakfasts, light dinners after your bike rides, gourmet suppers, and access to a snack bar where you can pick up snacks and drinks for your rides. Each day, you can choose your bike group:

  • Dolce Vita, for leisurely rides, cultural stops, and the perfect pace for an e-bike;

  • Road bike, with three difficulty levels (60 to 120 km, depending on pace and elevation gain);

Non-cycling companions aren’t left out either: hikes, cultural tours, and daily activities are available so they can explore the region in their own way. All groups set off at 9 a.m. in a friendly and well-supervised atmosphere.

A flexible and comprehensive package, perfect for experiencing Italy in a different way: cycling, fine dining, relaxation, and the Italian way of life all combined in one trip.

Lush green hills with the scent of the sea

Nestled between the Adriatic Sea and the Apennine Mountains, Emilia-Romagna is a region where the Italian way of life unfolds with every turn of the pedals. Starting from the charming seaside resort of Riccione, you’ll explore a region rich in medieval villages, rolling landscapes, and unique culinary traditions.

As you progress through the stages, the routes take you to San Marino, a hilltop gem listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and Urbino, a Renaissance city renowned for its exceptional artistic heritage. The breaks are just as delightful as the views: rustic barbecues, tastings of olive oil, balsamic vinegar, and local specialties punctuate your days of cycling.

Set amid lush green hills, a sparkling sea, and a rich cultural heritage, this trip combines athletic fun, cultural exploration, and Italian cuisine. A vibrant getaway where every day celebrates la dolce vita in all its simplicity.
