Booking & Payment
To book your room, contact the Hotel directly at bike@hotelfedora.it and let them know that you are with the Gruppo Paola Rowe. Our contact person at the Hotel is Claudio Righetti, the owner/manager. A 30% deposit is due upon booking. Payment can be made by credit card. Cancellations can be made up to 30 days before your arrival date. In case of later cancellations, the deposit fee will be charged.
Bike Rentals
If you choose not to bring your own bike, rentals are available. They are good quality carbon road bikes. E-bikes are also available. Check out the selection here. When filling out the online form, please indicate in the Notes field that:
a) you are with Gruppo Paola Rowe;
b) whether you are bringing your own pedals and/or seat; and,
c) if you prefer a 30 or 32 cassette to make the hill-climbing a little easier.
All rentals should be made as soon as possible after your booking to ensure that you receive the type of bike requested. Bikes will be waiting for you at the hotel when you arrive and an on-site mechanic will assist you with any bike fitting or modifications required.
Travel Options
Flight arrangements are your responsibility. The most common access points to Riccione are the cities of Bologna, Venice & Rome. You can request airport-to-hotel transfer recommendations from the Fedora Hotel by filling out their online form located on the Transfer Service for Cyclists page of their website.
Non-Cycling Guests
If your non-cycling partner/spouse/friend wants to join you, many hotel services are available to them. The cost is the same (€ 75) as for cyclists. More information regarding area cultural attractions is available upon request.
If you have any questions, please contact me directly.
Looking forward to hearing from you.
