Biking in Tuscany

While primarily known for its wine production and villas, Tuscany has emerged as a cycilists paradise. With a number of options, all levels of cycilists have the opportunity to enjoy the Tuscan countryside by bicycle.

From multi-week guided cyciling tours across Tuscany to hub and spoke tours originating out of a single villa, the tranquility of experiencing the Tuscan countryside by bicycle has drawn increasing numbers to the region.

In a recent review from some riders who had just completed a week long hub and spoke tour, “we commonly would bring our lunch with us and eat on the side of the field. After a rest in the shade and a few more leisurly hours of cycling, we would return to the villa for a nice swim before one of Tuscany’s beautiful sunsets.

” It is precisely reviews like this that has made Tuscany one of the premiere cycling destinations in the world. There are a number of rental options for cycilists primarily located in Siena and Florence. However, many of the more established villas also offer or can arrange for a rental to be delivered. Happy rideing.

The guests of Monaciano can also rent a bicycle and go for a ride in the beautiful Chianti countryside. The main road of the estate is marked out by the Region together with other routes. Trail-marking signs have been put up on each track. Maps and guides for biking in Tuscany are sold in many bookshops and news-stands throughout Siena.
