After great discussions and a video call with with Lucia at Lungamare Hotel ,Cesenatico, Italy we are pleased to announce a new fantastic collaboration for 2026 and and future years to come.
Where is Cesenatico you may ask , as you look at the map of Italy it’s on the east coast , along the coast line from Rimini , it’s the home of Marco Pantani and the Gran Fondo Nove Colli ( the event that started Gran Fondo’s around the world ).
Cesenatico is located on the Adriatic coast of Italy in the province of Forlì-Cesena in the region of Emilia-Romagna, about 30 kilometres (19 mi) south of Ravenna. Cesenatico’s port canal was surveyed and drawn by Leonardo da Vinci at the request of Cesare Borgia , as part of his plans to fortify the nearby town of Cesena.
Hotel Lungamare is not only the perfect cyclist hotel but its in the perfect location. It’s the only 4 star hotel on the beach and cycle rides cut into the countryside at the turn of a wheel taking in breath taking scenery. Being partnered with Hotel Lungamare it gives us access to their famous 100 different routes – yes 100 different routes, something which is not publish on the web but a secret gem. There are rides for all abilities and varying distances with six different groups per day and you won’t ride the same route twice – unless you want to because it was so fantastic!

Also you can have access to many tools for the maintenance of your bike:

Bike fit is important for an enjoyable ride, this is why we need your size in order to recommend the right bike for you. The Hotel expert guides will make sure your bike is properly set to your body dimensions before the start of your tour. If you prefer to provide your own pedals, shoes and saddle, the mechanic will assist you with the adjustments. Alternatively, with a small daily cost, we can rent you shoes, pedals and saddle. We offer a variety of bicycle options to suit different riding styles. All bikes are maintained in top conditions, to ensure you the best riding experience for the customer.
And remember: at the end of your stay, if you have fallen in love with the bike you have rented, you can buy it! Buying the bike you rented is always a good idea: the prices we apply are very convenient and the rent is completely free for you!
