In the heart of Riccione, in the greenest part of town yet close to the sea and just a short distance from Viale Ceccarini and the thermal spa, is the Hotel Belvedere, waiting to offer you a fantastic cycling holiday and the chance to visit one of the numerous festivals held in the surrounding area!
We use a very simple recipe to ensure that all sports enthusiasts and cyclists thoroughly enjoy themselves. We call it the "Belvivere" (or "Good living") recipe. In other words, we mix together fun and the desire for a holiday, and add friendliness, good food and great company. And we are sure that this formula will be of interest to those of you who don't cycle too. |

Our guests prefer to cycle out of the hot summer months where cycling in March or the Easter period you can enjoy Romagna when the air is fresh and the first rays of spring sunshine brighten the skies.
If you cycle around Riccione in April and May on the other hand, you will already begin to feel that summer is just around the corner.
One of the events on the weekly programme around that time of year is a great ride to Verucchio the ancient borough of the Malatesta family and another is a trip to the herbal medicine and organic food fair in Saludecio.
In September, when the roads are a little less busy compared to the summer months, Romagna, a region that has never forgotten its humble farming origins, rediscovers the flavours of traditional food and wine such as new wine, chestnuts and mushrooms...
And finally, October is when we organise excursions to places like San Leo, lunching in a traditional restaurant on the Cantoniera Pass where we feast on a typical dish of tagliatelle ribbon pasta served with porcini mushroom and truffles. |

The dense network of roads that criss-cross the hinterland of Riccione give us the opportunity to organise an infinite number of cycling itineraries with ranging degrees of difficulty.
Furthermore, we can also suggest some other tours such as for example, a tour to the "Republic of San Marino" where it is possible to follow a variety of different routes that are all about 100 kilometres long.
Guests can also go cycling in nearby Tuscany or in the Marche region, where it is possible to go to "Urbino"and enjoy a day of sport (this route covers about a hundred km), art and culture. |

Food is of fundamental importance, and at the Hotel Belvedere you will savour the authenticity of typical local cuisine. In the hinterland, the cuisine consists mainly of a huge variety of different pasta dishes and grilled meats and often bread is served alongside the more traditional "piadina" (flat, unleavened bread). On the coast on the other hand, the cuisine is based around highly nutritious fish, in particular anchovies and sardines and clams. |
