Delivery of your e-bikes at the accommodation.
After a hearty breakfast, set off on an easy and accessible route through quiet lanes, rolling fields, and wooded hills.
The ride will first take you to Castel d’Emilio, a medieval village perched on the hill. Here you can discover its historical origins: founded between the Middle Ages and the Renaissance, the village preserves ancient towers and traces of a rural community connected to the nearby Marche city-states, representing a rare example of a perfectly preserved fortified village.
Offagna
Continuing on, you will reach Offagna, one of Italy’s Most Beautiful Villages. The unmissable highlight is undoubtedly the 15th-century Rocca, an impressive stronghold of the defensive system of the Maritime Republic of Ancona, which is well worth a visit. If you wish, you can also explore the village’s other two fascinating museums: the Museum of the Liberation and the Natural Sciences Museum, dedicated to the scholar Luigi Paolucci and his collection of artifacts. To complete the experience, you can stop at an ancient cellar in the town center and enjoy a glass of Rosso Conero in the shade of the garden.
Along the route, you will enjoy breathtaking views of the Apennines and the Adriatic Sea. After visiting Offagna, return to the agriturismo for a moment of pure relaxation by the pool—perfect for recharging after a morning of cycling and discoveries.
Day 3 - Conero Natural Park
This day is dedicated to the Conero Natural Park and its stunning coastline.
In the morning, you can choose from a range of optional activities:
– A beekeeping experience to immerse yourself in the fascinating world of bees and discover their incredible complexity. You will wear a beekeeper’s suit to visit a hive with your guide.
– A horseback ride in the Conero Park, exploring its nature of woods and pastures, as well as fields of cereals and sunflowers, olive groves, and Rosso Conero vineyards.
In the afternoon, enjoy the Conero Riviera with a swim in the sea or a visit to the charming seaside villages of Sirolo and Numana.
Dinner is at your leisure. Let our tips inspire you to make the most of your afternoon and evening along the beautiful Conero Riviera!
Day 4 - Osimo
Check-out and return home.
But before leaving, there’s still time to explore another town too interesting to miss: Osimo. With origins dating back to Roman times, the town is famous for its medieval historic center, elegant squares, and underground caves carved into the tuff. A true subterranean city with an esoteric atmosphere, full of secrets and mysterious stories waiting to be discovered during your visit.
A stroll through history, art, and the surrounding hills completes the visit.
We recommend enjoying a break in the gardens of Piazza Nuova, with views over the Terrazzo di Via Giulia, perhaps accompanied by a picnic lunch before heading home.
