Dates: Our season begins on May 1 and runs until
October 1. There are no mandatory arrival or departure dates. Any length
stay is possible, although we recommend two weeks to get the flavor
of the area and to have an effective vacation. After two weeks with
us you won’t remember that you had any other life except cycling
in the Veneto.
The daily rate per person with double occupancy
is €140. Single occupancy is €155. For "non-cycling
companions" the rate is €100 for adults and €80 for
small children. Our fee includes the ride, lodging, and three daily
meals (including wine and bottled water) at our hotel’s restaurant.
There are no "wine kitties" or hidden charges. Add €15
for a stay at the new hotel.
The balance due is to be paid immediately
upon arrival at the Italian Cycling Center. Personal
checks and credit cards cannot be accepted. Since the value
of the dollar is constantly changing, all prices are given in euro.
Payment may be made in euro or in dollars, in cash or in traveler’s
checks, at the exchange rate on the day that you arrive. The current
exchange rate may be found in the financial section of the newspaper
or on the Internet at: Currency
converter - Yahoo! Finance.
