Venetian Villas And Vineyard Self Guided Cycling

Our undiscovered corner of Veneto, just 60 minutes (but a world away) from bustling Venice, is the perfect setting for a relaxed cycling holiday. Nestled between the art cities of Padua, home to one of the oldest universities in the whole of Europe, and UNESCO-recognised Vicenza, the region is bursting with Patrician villas - built by Venetian nobles to escape the muggy heat of the city - and ancient castles, although it is surprisingly almost entirely untouched by tourism. Palladio was the most famous Renaissance architect and many of his buildings, including the Villa Rotonda, can be visited on day 7 of this interest-packed itinerary.   https://www.exodus.co.uk/sites/exod/files/styles/panopoly_image_original... alt="" width="275" height="87" class="media-element file-default" data-delta="1" data-fid="151876" data-media-element="1"> /RidePlus is available on this tour, meaning most days you have the option to choose between the standard route and a more challenging RidePlus route. Each option comes with GPS navigation and route maps to ensure you get to your destination easily, and you’ll stay at the same hotel regardless of which route you take, though RidePlus cyclists can choose an upgraded lightweight road bike. If you’re travelling as a group you can split up for the day to ride independently – so everyone has their perfect day.
