Comments: This is the perfect place to go if you want a great week of cycling. I have stayed at the Hotel Dory twice, once with a group of six and the second time with a group of 24. The cycling package is suitable for those who want to cruise the coastal area to hammerheads who want to pound the mountain roads. The rides have 4 levels of skill and you can go back and forth depending how you want to challenge yourself. The beverage, food and décor is great. Cycling support is excellent with experienced mechanical support and friendly guides. The best part of Hotel Dory is the staff; knowledgeable, friendly and very helpful.

Comments: Arrived in late march and stayed for three nights. Enjoyed the restaurant both for breakfast and dinner. Lovely staff and super nice rooms. Sauna, small weight room, great storage for bikes and good wifi. The riding is pretty good around, more then most of Italy. Definitely will recomend this to friends and if I'm ever in the area stay there again myself.

Comments: We revisited Hotel Dory for the 4th time, but after a break of 10 years. Stephano and his team have made an already excellent package into one which is truly superb. A testament to its quality is not only the number of return visitors (the majority of guests) but also to the retention of hotel staff and cycling leaders, many of whom have been in the team for more than 10 years. Wonderful cycling, if on some rather crumbly roads, to cater for all standards, including racers, triathletes, MTB, and beginners. The best food too, all cooked / created / baked on the premises - and served by such friendly staff. And an end of week BBQ at Stephano's home - a perfect end to the week. Efficient and friendly admin team, very clean and comfortable rooms - there is just nothing bad to say! Thank you Hotel Dory!

Comments: My 4th time but not the last. It is so easy to come, rent a good bike and join one of the well guided groups. Good food and friendly staff. Emilia Romana is really beautiful region as well as Riccione is nice small town.
