Accommodations
The last mile is done and dusted. You’re ready to step out of those stiffsoled shoes, drink from a glass rather than a plastic spout, and lay your weary helmet on a smooth, fat pillow.
We’ve hand-picked the best accommodations along our routes to be the perfect complement to the riding and dining. We’ve already gone ahead and placed your luggage neatly in your room. And what a room it is... our guides carefully select and test each lodging, whether it’s a cozy inn, guesthouse, monastery or medieval castle, as much for local flavor and welcoming was amenities and convenience.
Double Rooms for Single Travelers
Single hotel rooms in most of Europe are exactly that: single. A single bed in a tiny room. Many tour operators will charge a supplement for solo travelers and then squeeze them into a room more suited to mops and brooms than a tired cyclist who needs to relax after a long day. Our single supplement charge entitles solo travelers to a double room, with plenty of room to spread out and relax in style.
Here are some of our favorites.
Tuscany’s Fattoria degli Usignoli
