 If Italy is thought to be the center of the universe for cyclists, then
Tuscany must surely be its glowing sun. Much of what has made Italy
famous has come from these rolling, vineyard covered hills. Art,
architecture, music, science, food, and wine; Tuscany has given us some
of the best. A history of war and strife has shaped the buildings and
the cities, the Renaissance has shaped the art and architecture, and a
love of life has colored the food, the wine, the cafés and restaurants.
Volterra, San Gimignano, Siena, Cortona;
as we cycle from city to city, we celebrate the journey as much as we do
the destinations. Cyclists are held in the highest esteem in Italy, and
these are the routes of the celebrated ones; small winding roads,
rolling hills, farmland and forests, hamlets and villages, vineyards and
churches.
Each pedal stroke is a destination in itself. When the ride is done, the
journey is still in progress with every city begging exploration, every
plaza teeming with life, every café demanding your presence, and every
alley leading you to more surprises. Our hotels, whether in the heart of
the city or deep in the countryside, are some of the best that Tuscany
has to offer. Ride, feast, relax, rest, and wake up for the next day’s
adventure.
