Villas and Vineyards Cycling

General information:

Independent 8 nights cycling hotel to hotel.

1 cycle- gentle cycling. Cycling is nice and flat- great for beginners. Untouched country side, rolling hills and wild flowers including poppies, heather and wild orchids.Plenty of wine tasting opportunites.

Location:

Based in the unspoilt Euganean hills, near the mediaval city of Padua. The closet town is Vicenza (40 mins away from base hotel) renowned for it's gold festival.

This holiday is based in the wonderfully unspoilt Euganean and Berici Hills, the lesser-known treasures of the Veneto (and long may they remain so).

The area has long been a draw for Venetians anxious to escape their muggy heat, and you will see many of their sumptuous villas, and the panoramas of the hills are never far away. The area is ideally situated for visiting Vicenza, Padua and Venice.

Who would this holiday appeal to?

Mainly couples who like peace and quiet. Great base afterwards for Venice and Verona. Not ideal for children, as not enough for them to do.

Possibility of non-standard departures?

Non Standard dates are possible on this holiday

Other details:

We include continental breakfast and evening meals on this holiday.

If you find yourselves having a longer wait in Venice until your train to Vicenza, we would suggest getting the bus into Venice so you can explore the city and then catch the train from Venice Santa Lucia to Vicenza instead.
