I had been searching the internet for somewhere that a solo traveler could stop and bike ride for just a few days and I was lucky enough to come across Riccione and the Hotel Milano Helvetia. I was traveling during the off-peak biking season (August), but the hotel manager Emiliano was kind enough to take me cycling alone for two days. He was extremely accomodating to my schedule and bike riding level, and I had two glorious afternoons riding out in the Italian countryside and along the coast. The hotel is nicely situated a block or so off of the beach. The rooms are clean and had good air conditioning during a hot time of the year. The entire staff was helpful and accomodating to an American who doesn't speak much Italian at all. I would recommend this to anyone looking to get in a few days of cycling along the Adriatic Riviera.
