Riccione

During this cycling vacation in Italy, you will stay at one of Italy's famed bike hotels. Hotel Dory has a program that has been tried, tested, and perfected over the years with incredible and knowledgeable tour guides and varying levels of difficulty.

Itineraries lead along rivers, pass through sixteenth-century villages, and climb to medieval fortresses. Cyclists will travel through charming territories on the border between Romagna, the Marche, and Tuscany. From the all-inclusive services tailored to cyclists, to the incredible food, to the staff and guides to unbelievable routes,

Even if you are traveling with a non- biker, there are plenty of other things to do. The hotel offers Nordic Walking poles, a cooking lesson, day trips to Ancona, Bologna, or the UNESCO World Heritage town of Ferrara.

This is is a biker's dream, which is why we have also added Villages and Castles, for more leisure cycling.
