Our Locanda, with a garage and bike repair corner, is the ideal accommodation for them and for their beloved bicycles.

Of all European countries, none draws bicycle tourists over and over again like Italy.  Each region has its unique charm and can boast the highest number of UNESCO World Heritage Sites in the world. In Lombardy cyclists especially love the diversity Vigevano has to offer, beautiful terrain and mild climate charming culture and tasty cuisine. Located in a half-way point between the cities of Novara, Pavia and Milan.  Geographical and historical situated in a flatland area called, Lomellina, land of castles and rice fields, within the Ticino natural park. Vigevano is a hidden gem that reveals little-known treasures such as the Piazza Ducale, one of the most beautiful squares in Italy, and Castello Sforzesco, one of the largest city castles in Europe.

Road/touring cyclist can easily see the historical centre of Vigevano leading out to ride along pleasant open asphalt roads from the “checkered sea” of rice fields with their various shifting colours and picturesque rural countryside. Amazingly beautiful hybrid cycling unites landscape features with cultural ones as it unfolds through the E1 path of the Parco del Ticino natural protected park. Trails that run alongside the Ticino River. Vigevano is a good choice for a stop for those who like cycling with no rush and discover natural landscapes and historical places

Since our opening in 2013, we have experienced a growing number of guests choosing Locanda San Bernardo as their favourite bicycle tour accommodation stop through our region. From the novice to expert, riding the basic to the most sophisticated bicycle, they all share the same love for their cycling equipment. And we are very dedicated to winning their hearts by providing the ultimate accommodations for the passionate cyclist.
