Ive been to Marina's hote Belvedere twice. only to now have a third trip booked for the spring of 2012.
Ive brought bus loads of friends and colleagues over, so I feel its my reputation riding on Marina's shoulsder as well.
She will npot disappoint. Everyone returns raving about the service, the food, the great location, the guides, the theme parties, the trips to her country house, the care... etc etc.... it cant be beat.

We love what Marina does for her guests, and her staff are so supportive of all her wishes, that we feel the sincerity of care from the moment we arrive. Do yourself a favour. Book into the Belevedere, and be pampered!

I was first introduced to the Belvedere in 2008 and have been returning to the hotel 2 times a year since for cycling, summer holidays and business travel. I have experienced other bike hotels in Riccione and this hotel is one of the best hotels by far. The guides specifically Felice, Carl, Ian and Danilo were wonderful and provided a great week of riding. Each year the hotel gets better and better.. the rooms are lovely, the food is great and the owners and staff are beyond compare. The Belvedere is my home away from home and I will be returning again in April 2012.

It was not my first time in the hotel. I was here a few times before in the past and always enjoyed but must state that it is just keeping up with the highest levels of expectation. I really thought my last review told most of the place but had the chance to read some other reviews and I have to add some info regarding the riding groups. I'm a good cyclist I believe. I can cycle fast and have no problems to do it day after day for long hours. If the fastest group isn't comprised of only Elite/Ex pros I can certainly be there. It was only in my last visit to the hotel though that I allowed myself to join a very long and hard ride (Carpegna) and enjoyed every moment of it. Yes, I could have probably done it before, especially after doing it and seeing how some of the other cyclists who joined the fast groups looked like during that ride. The guides were great and even though we had to be back for the BBQ on time we managed to wait for the slower cyclists (they always try to!) and be back as one group on time. I do have to say people: yes, it is a vacation and not a race. Yes, we all want to enjoy while riding but be serious, one can not jump to the fast groups if he does not belong there! That ruins everything for everybody including for themselves (usually). And yes, sometime for the sake of everybody the guyds need to tell the people they don't belong to a certain group. It is true though that if faster guys go down to a slower group to enjoy, relax, recover or be with their friends it is expected from them and the guides to keep with the intended pace and not to go over it. I assume that if a guy is a skier and goes for a Club Med vacation for example and he is like a 2B level he will not go with his friends who go "competing" in 3Racing, that wouldn't be smart too. After all usually people know their place and it is no surprise to read the remarkable reviews about this amazing hotel, they do know how to run it for EVERY cyclist and they do so successfully for a very long time!!!

The hotel Belvedere is a top notch cycling destination. The service in both the hotel and on the road with the guides is unbeatable. They offer several different rides daily that range from beginner to hard core. I've forged great relationships with several of the staff to the point that they have come to the U.S. to visit! It is an incredible value with superior cycling that is only outdone by the worldclass food! Bravo to Hotel Belvedere!
