Overview

Just inland from Venice at the northern end of the Adriatic Sea, the Italian region of Veneto, between the Piave and Sile rivers, is the perfect place for a self-guided cycle tour. This charming corner of Italy is famous for wine growing and for its wealth of historical and architectural heritage. Prosecco is one of the most important wines produced here and as recently as 2019 the picturesque ‘Prosecco Hills’ in the vicinity of the small towns of Valdobbiadene and Conegliano were granted UNESCO World Heritage status in recognition of the importance of this sparkling and popular drink. From your comfortable hotel in Ponzano, you will explore the ‘heart of the Veneto’ during five days of leisurely cycling. You will be able to enjoy wonderful views of a verdant and vineyard-clad region surprisingly little-frequented by tourists and marvel at the architectural highlights of Treviso, Castelfranco Veneto and other towns. These highlights include the creations of the Renaissance architect Andrea Palladio (such as the handsome Villa Emo) which have a separate UNESCO World Heritage listing. Taking each day’s ride at your own pace and cycling on quiet farm roads, cycle paths and riverside tracks, there will be lots of time to explore, to stop for a cappucino and to take in the sights,

Staying at the 4-star Relais Monaco Country Hotel and Spa you will be sure to have everything you need to relax after a day exploring on your bike, including a pool, a terrace perfect for relaxing with a good book and a glass of the local produce and a great restaurant to sample the local specialities too.

Most of the cycling is on quiet side-roads with little traffic and there are also stretches of unsurfaced farm roads and cycle paths. On the approaches to Treviso and at a couple of locations when crossing bridges, you can expect to encounter more traffic. With very comfortable centre-based 4-star accommodation, you will have everything you need to relax on the completion of each day’s activities. E-bikes are available at supplementary cost and will make this quite leisurely holiday even more of a breeze.

Why KE?

We have put together this excellent cycling holiday to show off the best of the delightful Prosecco-producing Veneto region of northern Italy. Staying at a wonderful 4-star country hotel and spa, what better way to experience ‘la dolce vita’.


Bike hire is included on all of our self-guided cycling holidays. E-bikes are also available (at additional cost) for anyone wanting to make the trip even more leisurely.
