The Cilento is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and Italy’s second largest and most biologically diverse park. It is like being back in another time as we ride through a fascinating mix of history and small towns, olive groves and vineyards set in a rugged landscape known as the Cilento. We have selected the best places for our bike rides and the most scenic spots for hiking to highlight the diversity and grandeur of this special part of Italy.

And, you only need to unpack once and keep the same cabin for the week. How easy is that!
