Welcome to Hooked on Cycling Holidays and our cycling holidays in Italy. We are very proud of the varied nature of the biking vacations in Italy. These range from Cycle Resorts, fixed location hotels which specialise in supporting our cycling holidays, to full moving on tours  in some of the most beautiful and historic regions. Our cycle tours cover many regions from Sicily in the south to Sardinia in the west, the famous regions such as Tuscany, Venice, Lombardy, Piemonte, Lake Garda, Lake Como, Chianti, Umbria, Apulia, Romanga, Bascilicata and Marche. Indeed we think we have the most varied range of cycling holidays available by any tour operator in Italy.
Italy is also our number one destination for cycling holidays.
In Italy cycling is a near national sport where many people cycle for leisure as well as for sport. The local people idolize the sporting greats of cycling but this also means that locals appreciate cyclists and would often give you verbal encouragement while cycling as well as drivers being courteous.
The regions we have chosen for our cycling holidays are all superb for cycling, lush green Hinterlands a few miles inland from the breathtaking coastlines. History is also to be seen with ancient villages and castles to admire as you cycle.
Most of our tours are self guided but we do have guided and group tours in West Sicily , Sardinia and Venice.
