Tuscany - based in one hotel

Discover Tuscany...

Named after the crafty Etruscan people is this picturesque landscape with the typical skyline of villages on top of hills and arbour vitae puncturing the deep blue skies. Florence comes into mind, the “flourishing”, with a fleur-de-lis in the city cote of arms - the city of the Medici, Dante Alighieri and origin of Renaissance style. Tuscany stands for rich culture, ochre coloured farmhouses, silver green olive groves – and palazzos, numerous and everywhere. It is a magic place, attracting tourists of all over the world. And there is no better way to discover than by bike!

Itinerary

Information briefing and bike fitting in the evening. Montecatini Terme is one of the most important health resorts of Italy. The healing properties of the water were known to antique Romans and persons as Giacomo Puccini and Giuseppe Verdi took their water from there.

Today, you will cycle along wonderful ways through olive groves to the charming town of Serravalle. Beautiful panoramic views over the valley will reward you for conquering the short climbs before you will return downhill to Montecatini. On your way, you will also pass the historic town of Montecatini Alto, where you can enjoy a glass of wine at the romantic Piazza Guisti.

The day starts with a drive to the summit of Monte Pisano (900 m) where you can enjoy an impressive panorama of Pisa and the sea. From here you will start your bike tour with a long descent into the valley. On the bike path along a Roman Viaduct you will get to the Leaning Tower of Pisa. Later, you will continue to the Mediterranean coast and through the nature park “Macchia Lucchese” to the “Pearl of the Tyrrhenian coast”: Viareggio. At the end of your tour, you will take the train back to Montecatini.

The capital of the Tuscany awaits you with its palaces, churches, museums and art treasures of the Renaissance. Of course you can relax in the hotel spa on this day too…

Today, you will take a shuttle to Casciana Terme. On wonderful ways, through vineyards and rolling hills, you will cycle to San Gimignano. On your way, you will see images of the original Tuscany as they have been painted many times. Just before you reach today’s destination, the silhouettes of the famous medieval towers appear in front of you. After your trip, you will have a transfer back to your hotel.

On the sixth day, you will cycle on small paths through the olive groves of Montecatini to Vinci, the birthplace of Leonardo.This museum dedicated to his genius and his inventions is very impressive. On your way back to the hotel, you will cycle over gently rolling hills and through the lovely countryside of Montalbano.

First, you will cycle through the small, medieval wine town of Monte Carlo, where one of the few white wines of Tuscany flourishes. Then you will continue your tour along the Wine Road “Colline Lucchesi”, through the backcountry, past the beautiful Villa Torriggiani to Lucca. A bike ride on the historic city walls offers magnificent views of churches and towers that rise above the countless roofs of the city. The train will take you back to your hotel.

The route

Tuscany is marvellous and hilly countryside. On quiet minor roads and country lanes you cycle from one well known city to the next. When you enter or exit cities sometimes heavy traffic may occur.
