Velo Veneto is located in the town of Castelcucco (northeastern Italy), in the foothills of the Dolomite Mountains. Venice is about an hour to the southeast. We are 45 km north of Padova, 40 km northwest of Treviso and 16 km east of Bassano del Grappa. The region is home to many of Italy's top pro and elite amateur teams.

The camp is headquartered at the Hotel Montegrappa. We occupy a private five bedroom, three bath villa that is seperate from the main hotel. The Villa includes a garage and workshop for bike maintenance and storage and has laundry facilities. The hotel is a popular choice for many riders who wish a single private room with bath.

We eat all our meals in the friendly atmosphere of the hotel dining room. Host Luca Bolzon and his family have known us for many years, and will make you feel like part of the family. Not only is the riding/racing world class....but the hospitality and food at Hotel Montegrappa are simply fabuloso!

Breakfast – 7:00 – 8:30 a.m.
Continental breakfast, typical throughout Europe, consists of fruit juice, fresh baked rolls or croissants, sweet butter, marmalade, yogurt, fresh fruit, cereal and cappuccino, espresso or caffe latte.

Lunch – 12:30 – 2:30 p.m.
"Pranzo" is ordered off the dining room/pizzeria menu. Occasionally we pack a picnic lunch for those times when we plan to ride far away into the mountains.

Dinner - 7:30 – 10:00 p.m.
"Cena" is a celebration nearly every night. Again, you can order anything you want from the menu…all you can eat. And wine or beer are served, no extra charge.

 

Shopping - Many renown bike shops, component and clothing manufacturers are located in the Veneto. We'll take you to the nearby factory outlets and shops where you'll find bargains and things you can't get at home. You can even order a custom frame from Michele Cavalera.

Sightseeing - The Veneto is a very historic region of Italy. Aside from the obvious excursions to Venice or Verona, there is much to see and do closer to Castelcucco. There will be plenty of tourist and historical information available to help you enjoy side trips to Asolo, Possagno, Marostica and Maser, just to name a few.
