Embark on a cycling adventure to Italy's "breadbasket" in the rolling hills of Emilia Romagna!  Enjoy a 7-night stay at Dory Bike Hotel, a cycling resort located along the northern Adriatic in the vibrant beach town of Riccione.  

Dory offers cyclists of ALL abilities a week of professionally guided, multi-level rides through the region's breathtaking landscapes, where cyclists stop along the way for pastries, selfies, and to explore historical and cultural gems. Road riders choose from six multi-level guided pace groups, ranging from 13 to 75 miles and covering a few hundred to over 6,000 feet in elevation. For those preferring off-road adventure, Dory offers guided gravel and mountain bike tours on beginner to expert level terrain.

Not a cyclist?  Not a problem. Dory offers non-cycling guests a full program of off-the-bike activities, including guided hikes, cultural tours, a cooking class, and a boat excursion. For sun and sand lovers, the hotel sits a block and a half from the beach!
