I highly recommend the all-inclusive cycling package at Enjoy Garda Hotel. I am a small wine business owner and road cyclist. I have done cycling trips with Backroads and Trek Travel. I can definitely say this experience is just as good, if not better. It is a great concept – have a hotel that also caters to cyclist, rents bikes and has guides to lead you on great rides all around Lake Garda. I greatly appreciated that I could unpack for the week and not live out of a suitcase. The rooms are clean, comfortable and quiet. I did not need to bring a cycling kit for everyday or wash them – the hotel washes your cycling clothes each day. The rental bikes are great – the hotel works directly with the Pinarello family. I rode with a couple that used the Nytro e-bike and I am excited to get my girlfriend on one next year so we can ride together. The bike room is very convenient for leaving your daily bike gear and filling up on water and food for the ride. The guides are knowledgeable, friendly and caring (very safe). They have different, challenging and fun rides each day depending on your abilities. I was never on the same ride twice and they all included at least one espresso stop. Michele was such a great guide; I was picking rides based on his leadership. Special thanks to Carolyn for sticking with me when I was last in the group and taking lots of pictures. Any successful business has a good concept and people to implement it. Here the hotel’s staff runs a smooth operation, pays attention to details and makes you feel special. It started with being picked up by Giuseppe at the Verona airport with a cold bottle of water. It ended with Elisa at the front desk getting me a long-distance taxi to my next city in the middle of a train strike. Fabiana’s communication with me before and after arriving was always quick, friendly and reassuring. Upon arriving, I found a quality cycling jersey, vest, socks, hat, water bottles and bag in my room. Nice! One day it rained over-night and in the morning. The staff quickly organized a morning trip to the beautiful city of Sirmione. We were back for lunch and had a great afternoon ride. I have to say I was very impressed with the food at the hotel. As a tourist and cyclist, it’s everything you need and I never found myself wanting to go some place else, especially for dinner (way to go Javier and Demian). Breakfast had a large and varied number of cold and hot items. Personally, I consistently went for the juice, croissants, cereal, yogurt, banana pancakes, scrambled eggs, sausage, cheese and cold cuts, as well as 2 cappuccinos. The lunches were great recovery meals. Always a variety of yummy pizza and pastas, veggies, and a meat course or two to choose from. I have to mention the perfect little salad bar I hit every day. If you’ve traveled Italy, you know it’s not easy to get good salad greens in any quantity. The dinner menu changes daily. It consistently had multiple courses that were varied, creative, used fr
