February is passion month, and we’re celebrating by bringing you a list of the most romantic European hotels. When you go on a bike tour with Ciclismo Classico, you’ll be staying at carefully selected hotels that provide the perfect complement to riding, dining, and other activities. From cozy inns and guesthouses to medieval castles and monasteries, we’ve chosen lodgings for their local flavor and charm as well as for their amenities and convenience.
Imagine this… you roll into town at the end of a full day of cycling, ready to kick off your bike shoes, soothe your tired muscles with a hot shower, and then sink into a restorative night’s sleep in a welcoming, comfortable bed. We’ve already gone ahead and placed your luggage neatly in your room. And what a room it is… Here are our most romantic European hotels, and the tours you can enjoy them.
