Discover our new all-inclusive cycling holiday package in the heart of Emilia-Romagna, one of Italy's most welcoming regions and renowned for its cuisine. Spend seven days at the Hotel Dory, a 4-star establishment specializing in cycling holidays, where everything is designed to combine comfort, flexibility, and the pleasure of cycling.
Enjoy 7 nights in a superior room, with all meals included—hearty breakfasts, light dinners after bike rides, gourmet suppers, and access to a lunch area where you can pick up snacks and drinks to take with you on your rides. Each day, you can choose your bike group:
Dolce Vita, for leisurely rides, cultural breaks, and an ideal pace for electric bikes;
Road bike, with three performance levels (60 to 120 km, depending on pace and elevation);
Non-cycling companions are not left out: hiking, cultural visits, and daily activities are offered so they can discover 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, gastronomy, relaxation, and Italian lifestyle all combined in one trip.
Nestled between the Adriatic Sea and the Apennine Mountains, Emilia-Romagna is a region where the Italian way of life can be discovered with every turn of the pedals. From the charming seaside resort of Riccione, you can explore an area rich in medieval villages, rolling landscapes, and unique culinary traditions.
Along the way, 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 as delicious as the views: country barbecues, olive oil tastings, balsamic vinegar tastings, and local produce tastings punctuate the days of cycling.
Set among rolling green hills, sparkling seas, and rich culture, this trip combines sporting enjoyment, cultural discoveries, and Italian cuisine. A vibrant getaway, where every day celebrates la dolce vita in all its simplicity.
