The area surrounding Festina Lente is a true paradise for cycling enthusiasts. Pedalling through vineyard-covered hills, from one charming village to another and along atmospheric towns, you can discover the region in a unique and relaxing way. The challenging climbs are rewarded with breathtaking views and the satisfaction of a ride well completed. Along the way, there are also countless idyllic spots to take a break and enjoy the delicious local cuisine. An unforgettable cycling experience guaranteed!
Cycling is the perfect way to explore our beautiful region, and at our B&B, we love to make the experience even more special. We offer two carefully designed cycling packages of 5 or 8 days, combining active cycling with the enjoyment of the delicious local food and wines that the region is renowned for.
Every day, we are happy to help all our guests who would like to cycle plan the perfect route, fully tailored to their wishes and abilities. This applies both to guests who book one of our cycling packages and to those who simply want to cycle for a day or a few days during their stay. Thanks to our extensive selection of cycling routes, there is a perfect ride for everyone, whether you enjoy a leisurely cycle through gently rolling countryside or are looking for a challenge on steeper climbs. Having enjoyed cycling holidays ourselves for almost 20 years, we know better than anyone what makes a cycling holiday truly special, and we make sure that all our cycling guests can make the most of their stay and the beautiful surroundings.

Planning a cycling holiday with your cycling club or a group of friends? Feel free to get in touch with us. We are happy to help you plan and create a tailor-made programme, so you can fully enjoy all that Piedmont has to offer.
Would you like to discover Piedmont by bike, but prefer not to bring your own bicycle? Or are you travelling by plane, only want to cycle for a few days, or simply fancy getting on a bike for a single day? We are happy to help you find a bike that perfectly suits your plans.
We work together with Speedybike, a bike shop in Asti, which will arrange for your chosen bicycle to be delivered to the B&B at the agreed time. You can choose from a selection of high-quality road bikes, gravel bikes and e-bikes, ideal for discovering the beautiful hills, vineyards and villages of Monferrato.
Your own bicycle or your rented bike can be stored safely and under cover at our B&B. If you need a small repair or anything else during your stay, we are happy to help.

As an extra treat for adventurous cyclists, we would also like to mention that our region offers fantastic gravel routes. Discover hidden trails, winding forest roads and breathtaking landscapes while enjoying the ultimate freedom of gravel riding.
Every year, at the end of August or beginning of September, the Monsterrando — the “Strade Bianche” of the Monferrato region — takes place. Ride through rolling hills, vineyards and truffle country, passing castles and medieval towns as you explore the Monferrato on a mix of gravel and paved roads.
In recent years, La Monsterrando has been a prominent part of the UCI Gravel World Series. For the 2026 edition, however, the organisers opted for a renewed format. While the official racers competed for victory on the spectacular and challenging hills around Fubine Monferrato under a certified UCI banner, recreational cyclists were offered their own non-competitive Monsterrando Tourist Ride, allowing them to enjoy the beautiful wine region without the pressure of racing.
Behind the scenes, the organisers have expressed their ambition to use this renewed format as a stepping stone, making it quite likely that this unique Italian gravel classic will return to the World Series calendar in the future.
