From the Journal of Marleen


Are you looking for the perfect balance between challenging kilometres in the mountains and top-level accommodation? For those who choose to cycle in Umbria, the location of the stay is crucial. Villa Lidia offers not only a strategic position relative to the most beautiful climbs, but also the luxury you need to step onto the pedals feeling fresh every day.

The green heart of Italy is known for its hills and challenging cols waiting to be discovered. From the villa, you have direct access to diverse Italian cycling routes ranging from relaxed rides through the valley to solid climbs. You never have to ride far to start a route, meaning no time wasted on busy connecting roads.

After a day of intensive mountain climbing in Umbria, nothing is more important than a good place to recover and safely store your equipment. You can store your cycling gear on the villa grounds, and there is a workspace with professional tools for small repairs or necessary maintenance. The large swimming pool offers the ideal opportunity to relax your muscles, and the luxury bedrooms with high-quality beds are essential for optimal rest and fast physical recovery.

It is not only the physical challenge that makes cycling in Umbria so special, but also the unique surroundings. The roads in this region are considerably quieter than in the popular Alpine or Dolomite destinations. You can focus on your cadence and technique in complete peace while enjoying views of vineyards and medieval villages.

The choice for a quality base determines the experience of your entire sports holiday. By choosing a luxury stay at Villa Lidia, you combine your passion for the sport with the rest and excellent gastronomy this region has to offer. Whether you are training for an Ironman or simply want to enjoy the most beautiful vistas in central Italy, the right accommodation makes the difference between a good and an unforgettable holiday.
