John Mearns Picture

My wife absolutely loved it and said it made her feel like a teenager again! The pickup and drive up the hill was great and the driver was multilingual and friendly. The trails are mainly to a good standard and match the tyres provided and the V brakes were good enough for the task although it did not rain on us. The bikes were also prepared to a good standard with no faults that I could see and crisp gear changing. The GPX file downloaded to Komoot gave faultless navigation. The hotels were to a good standard and the Hotel Flora in Morano was amazing with a great locked bike garage and lift up to reception. The lift made it almost felt like we were in a James Bond movie. It also had nice rooms and a pool. The hotel breakfasts were great and all the towns we stayed at were nice and interesting with a good range of restaurants and bars. - September 2023
