Well, what a venue. Without a doubt the best riding we've ever done. Truly varied - cobbled mule roads, tight switchbacks, woodland singletrack, open singletrack, "street" riding (i.e. shallow steps in villages), rock slabs, roots, drop-offs, jumps, berms, built downhill courses. In the high mountains, or finishing on the beach. At the start of the week I tried to take note of the names of my favourite trails, but I gave up when I realised they were all awesome. We probably preferred the trails on the coast, but this may be because it was sunnier there.....
You definitely need an uplift, and probably a guide to make the most of these trails. We would highly recommend
RivieraBike who not only do uplifts and guiding, but will also organise the whole week for you (airport transfers, accommodation in a lovely hotel with wonderful traditional food, workshop and lots of TLC if required!)
The only downsides are when it rains there's very little to do, as the limestone trails become extremely slippery and the other trails become too muddy.
There's even some photos of me riding:
