Experience the Nove Colli

What to Expect on This Trip

Get ready for the cycling experience of a lifetime at Italy’s most sought-after Gran Fondo! Join passionate cyclists from across the globe as you conquer the famous 9 hills of the Gran Fondo. Whether you opt for the gruelling 200km route or the more manageable 130km course, you'll be part of a vibrant, international cycling community. With the event televised live, the excitement is palpable, from the elite racers at the front to the enthusiastic riders further back.

But there's more to this trip than just cycling. Cesenatico, a delightful beach resort, offers the perfect setting for relaxation and fun. Our hotels, located near the beach, boast top-notch wellness facilities and inviting pools. They also cater specifically to cyclists with dedicated bike storage, maintenance tools, laundry services, and of course, plenty of delicious food.

What our Cyclists Say

Awesome customer Service like it used to be. I admit that I'm one of many people who have taken to booking holidays and flights direct to save a few quid. But when planning my husband's 50th birthday and knowing very little about cycling I decided to try Love Velo and I can't recommend them, and the service I've received from James Danvers highly enough.

I booked through Love Velo because the reviews were so good. I wasn't disappointed. Right from my first contact with LV they were easy to talk to and although I dithered (my first cycling trip abroad) they didn't press me. When I eventually confirmed my booking they took care of everything.

Everything about Love Velo has been faultless. From the initial notification of them teaming up with Le Col and to the pricing being unbelievable and then the customer service, top class. James, if all the staff are as attentive to every detail as you are then everyone will be as lucky as I have been. 100% at some point, hopefully in the near future I will be booking again with you guys. Thank you again
