Sanremo is one of the most charming and effortlessly enjoyable towns on the Italian Riviera — a place where palm‑lined promenades, pastel‑coloured villas, and the sparkling Mediterranean create a wonderfully relaxed atmosphere. Known as the “City of Flowers”, Sanremo blends classic Italian elegance with a gentle coastal rhythm that makes it perfect for unwinding on and off the bike.

During your stay, you can stroll the famous Corso Imperatrice, wander the historic lanes of La Pigna, explore the marina, or simply sit by the sea and enjoy the warm Ligurian light. Visit the Russian Orthodox Church, browse the lively markets, or take a leisurely walk along the coastal cycle path that follows the old railway line beside the water.

Beyond Sanremo, the Liguria region offers a wonderful selection of places to explore. Discover Italy’s deep connection to olive culture at the Museo dell’Olivo, slow life down with a visit to Parasio in the old part of Porto Maurizio — where the Logge di Santa Chiara opens to spectacular views of the sea — or wander the beautiful Hanbury Gardens in Ventimiglia, a botanical treasure that comes alive in spring.

Sanremo also provides easy access to the Riviera’s most picturesque towns — from Bordighera and Ospedaletti to the hilltop villages that overlook the coastline. Whether you prefer a quiet morning by the sea, a little shopping, or a relaxed afternoon exploring cafés and gelaterias, the town invites you to enjoy each day at your own pace.

With our one‑location stay, you have the freedom to settle in and savour the week without transfers or packing. And when evening comes, our team is always happy to recommend superb local restaurants — the kind of places where you can dine just like a Ligurian and enjoy the flavours of the Mediterranean.

A beautiful coastal destination, and the perfect home for your cycling holiday.

Our centre‑based tours mean you stay in one hotel for the entire trip. No packing, no transfers, no stress — just great riding every day from the same comfortable base.
