Cottages to Castles Custom Walks / ScooterBella Brochure

Cottages To Castles presents two distinctive holiday concepts, ScooterBella and CustomWalks, designed for travellers seeking a fun, unique, active and care-free escape. Every trip is professionally guided so that nothing is left to chance, with half board hotel accommodation and delicious local speciality meals included throughout.

ScooterBella: Exploring on a Vespa

ScooterBella invites guests to zip effortlessly amongst the vineyards and hill towns of Tuscany, Apulia and Provence on their own scooter. The tours provide the framework of an organised trip while leaving travellers free to be as independent as they wish. Once riders get the hang of it, they can explore quiet back roads on their trusty Vespas, or have a guide lead and care for them every scoot of the way.

• New 125cc Vespa scooters that are lightweight, easily manoeuvrable and easy to use
• Automatic gear change and electric start
• Trips rarely exceed 50 km an hour, fast enough to cover ground yet slow enough to admire the view
• Guides lead along peaceful minor roads to castles, villas, hamlets and villages
• Visits to the best cafés, trattorias and winemakers, with parking never a problem

CustomWalks: Walking and Cycling Holidays

Branded as CustomWalks, the company also offers a range of walking and cycling trips across highly scenic regions of Italy, France, Spain and Turkey. The difference from other similar trips is that these are all professionally guided, so that nothing is left to chance. Itineraries are geared to cater for most levels of fitness, and an accompanying van is always placed at the disposal of each party. Luggage is transferred from one hotel to another, so literally everything is taken care of.

Trips and Arrangements

Both ScooterBella and CustomWalks have scheduled departures, unless guests wish for a trip to be customised especially for them (conditions apply). Accommodation is half board across a number of different locations, with local speciality meals included.
