Hello, How are you doing? We wanted to let you know that Drelli and Stefano have been looking for you all over the hotel for weeks, but they can’t find you anywhere.
🤷🏻♂️
They have no idea where you are and are starting to worry. Will you be back to stay with us? We would really love to see you again. In fact, we have our sights set on those who have already stayed at Hotel Dory (with special discounts available). 👀
Please reassure Drelli and Stefano, who are getting a bit older now, so stressing isn’t going to do them any good.
All kidding aside, the autumn cycling season is about to start with many new and exciting things: a new programme for non-cyclists, new ‘Dolce Vita’ experiences, and new electric racing bikes available for hire (they are quite something!).
In addition, in 2024, Hotel Dory will celebrate its 70th birthday. It will be a great year with lots of surprises.
At the Dory, you’re part of a story linked to the road, to traditions and to friendship. We like to laugh, surprise ourselves and discover routes on the border between Romagna, the Marche and Tuscany.
We’ve got three different activities for you, each with a world waiting to be discovered; the programmes and bikes are different, but the passion remains the same.

CYCLING EXPERIENCES
We’ve got three different activities for you, each with a world waiting to be discovered; the programmes and bikes are different, but the passion remains the same.
Tense muscles, the crisp air, a light bicycle speeding along the road. Experienced guides help you discover our land, where the climbs will test your legs and the landscapes will test your heart. Up to four groups, all different in terms of distance covered and gradients, unique events and over 50 routes between the sea and mountains, offering great views, fragrances and ancient villages.
“LA DOLCE VITA” BIKE
EAT, CYCLE, LOVE
The "La Dolce Vita" group is for those who see cycling as a means of exploring. It follows the iconic style of the Italian dolce vita. You don’t need to be at peak fitness; the routes are simpler and everyone can tackle the climbs at their own pace, maybe even on an e-bike. This is the group for the more curious cyclist: history, tastings and amusing anecdotes about the culture of our land will be revealed to you.

MOUNTAIN BIKE
AT THE EDGE OF FREEDOM
The hills of Romagna offer wonderful panoramic views if you love MTB. Single tracks through woods, thrilling downhills and many off-road trails await you in places where you can truly reconnect with nature. And thanks to the rivers, rocks and woods you’ll rediscover an intimate sense of freedom. At all times of the Dory Bike season, an expert guide is available for groups of at least 5 cyclists. An expert guide will also be exclusively available for you, with a specially dedicated programme and participation in the costs.
RACING BIKE GROUPS
Four groups that are different in terms of average speed and kilometres travelled every day. Choose the one that best suits your legs!
CAPPUCCINO LIGHT
If you love to climb at an easier and less intense pace and if you appreciate and are more interested in the history, specialities and culture of our territory than a steep climb this is the group for you.
CAPPUCCINO
If you enjoy not only cycling, but also nature and landscape and if you’re an averagely well-trained cyclist this is the group for you.
CAPPUCCINO SUPER
If you’re a well-trained cyclist and the cappuccino group isn’t enough for you and if you want to cover longer distances at a faster pace this is the group for you.
LIMONCINO
If you’re a well-trained cyclist, with at least 2,000 to 2,500 km in your legs, and if you love challenges and want to fully enjoy our wonderful climbs then this is the group for you.
