A slow-paced weekend blending the excitement of the Tour Alcle in Manerbio with peaceful cycling past historic farmsteads and golden vineyards.
Friday evening: arrival in San Paolo, swift check-in, and a glass of Franciacorta
Your weekend starts completely stress-free. OneMhotel is located in San Paolo, in the hamlet of Scarpizzolo, just a short drive from the motorway junctions and immersed in the peaceful countryside. You can arrive at any time thanks to our 24-hour reception and leave your car in the spacious free car park right outside the entrance—exceptionally convenient if you are carrying bikes on a rack or travelling with sports gear.
After your journey, unwind in our bright, sleek rooms: you can request a chilled bottle of Franciacorta in your room to toast the start of the weekend. For dinner, our team will gladly recommend a charming local spot in the area just a few minutes' drive away, in San Paolo or neighbouring Verolanuova, where you can savour traditional Brescian casoncelli and hearty seasonal flavours.
Saturday: the thrilling spectacle at PalaSturla in Manerbio (8 minutes away)
The day begins with our generous sweet and savoury breakfast buffet, ideal for recharging your energy (also available served comfortably in bed, on request). Just a few kilometres of flat road separate the hotel from the PalaSturla equestrian centre in Manerbio: about an 8-minute drive along the provincial road.
PalaSturla is a premier European venue for equestrian sports, boasting top-tier indoor and outdoor arenas. The A5* competition in the Tour Alcle circuit brings together top horse-and-rider pairs for spectacular show jumping events. Spectators can soak up the thrilling competition up close, marvel at the power of the horses, and enjoy the vibrant atmosphere of the sports village.
Please remember to verify exact dates, category start times, and entry requirements on the official FISE or venue channels before planning your visit, as the schedule may be subject to operational changes.
Consiglio pratico. Weekend tip: always check the competition schedule on the official PalaSturla website before travelling, and remember to pack your bikes: the flat country lanes around Scarpizzolo offer scenic, safe routes with very little traffic.
Sunday: along riverbanks and farmsteads, cycling through Parco dello Strone
Sunday morning is all about gentle exploration. In October, Bassa Bresciana reveals warm autumn colours, with golden poplar groves and waterways mirroring the clear sky. Setting off straight from the hotel on two wheels or driving 10 minutes to the centre of Verolanuova, you can join the cycling trails of Parco Naturale Locale dello Strone.
The path follows the bends of the river, winding past historic mills, traditional courtyard farms, and lowland woodlands. It is a flat route suitable for all fitness levels, perfect for touring, gravel, or mountain bikes. Before you head out, you can request a convenient cold menu at our reception with gourmet sandwiches and fresh snacks to pack in your backpack for an open-air break along the riverbanks or at one of the picnic areas along the way.
In the afternoon, before heading home, we recommend stopping in the historic centre of Verolanuova to admire the two monumental canvases by Giambattista Tiepolo housed in the Basilica di San Lorenzo—an artistic masterwork less than fifteen minutes from the quiet comfort of our hotel.
