You can explore the highlights
of the region “Canavese” from a very beautiful hotel. Historic castles are on
your way and natural lakes invite for a swim. In the vineyards along the “Strada
Reale dei Vini”, the royal wine route, you can taste or buy good wine. You also
follow the traces of the Franciscans on their way to Rome. So you will have a variety holiday in
this unknown region. After this trip you will agree – it is truly an insider
tip!
The hotel
is located in the centre of the medieval village Romano Canavese near Turin. The Villa, surrounded
with its own park, was built in the 18th century. You can adjourn to numerous
places, where you can find silence and relaxation. Only 7 years ago the Villa
was changed in a hotel by the owning family. All rooms are equipped stylish and
with big bathrooms. Also the lounge of the hotel is charming and luxury with
the original furniture of former times. The old horse stable is now an
excellent Restaurant offering a light and typical cuisine of Piedmont.
To make your stay more variety, you can use the pool, sauna, stream bath and
also a tennis court of the hotel. In combination with a friendly and attentive
staff you will have a successful stay!
Day 1:
Individual arrival to Romano Canavese
Handing out of travel
documents and rental bikes through an employee of the hotel. Enjoy your
welcome- “Aperitivo” in the inviting hotel lobby.
Day 2: Excursion Lake
Candia approx. 40 km
The first excursion leads
you on nice paths along river Dora Baltea to the South. Lake Candia
is reached soon. You will find lovely bathing possibilities along the lake –
cool down in the clear water! A longer climb (4 km) brings you to the
moraine hills with great views over the surroundings. Along the royal wine
route back to your hotel.
Day 3:
Excursion Ivrea and its lakes approx. 50 km
You cycle through meadows
and fields to Ivrea. The river Dora Baltea is very deep in the river bed. Because
of that you will have great views along the way. After a break in the medieval
centre you go on to two mountain lakes nearby. The romantic lakes invite for a
swim. Your way back is along the old Franciscan route, which the friars used as
an important pilgrims route to Rome.
Day 4:
Excursion to Turin and river Po
approx. 60 km
By train to the capital Turin. The big Piazza
Vittorio Veneto
is not the only impressing sight of this lively town. A nice cycle path brings
you back to the north. We ecommend a break in Chiavasso. The small town on river
Po reflects with its sidewalk cafes the
typical Italian lifestyle. On your way back you pass Castello Mazze.
Day 5:
Excursion to Lake
Viverone approx. 40 km
Sporty cyclists can visit
the impressive Castello of Masino at the beginning (very steep ascent of about
2 km). If
you prefer the more comfortable way, follow the route over gentle hills,
through small villages with historic churches and small castles. You find good
bathing possibilities at the promenade of Viverone. You cycle through
agriculture with peaches, wine and kiwis.
Day 6:
Moraine hills approx. 35 km
Today’s stage leads you
through cornfields at first to Castello Pavone. After a short climb you have
reached the moraine hills. Wonderful views compensate the small ascent on your
way! Castles are guarding the cycle route along the royal wine route. After a
downhill you are coming back to your hotel the last time.
Day 7: Departure after breakfast
This
tour has flat and slightly hilly stages. Every day you have to manage one or
two short ascents. There is one bigger climb with about 4 km on the tour. You cycle
most of the time on side roads, parts on cycle paths with mainly asphalted
streets. In the cities you cycle on roads with traffic.
