You want to explore the best of Tuscany in seven days and prefer a perfectly based location where you can do loop rides and really learn about an area.

Biking in Tuscany is an ideal option for cycling enthusiasts of all levels. Whether you’re looking to pedal calmly along the gentle lanes of this beautiful region, or to challenge yourself on the very same hills that cycling legends—including Bartali, Cipollini and Bettini—have trained on, Tuscany can truly be said to be a land of cyclists, and much, much more.

From Agriturismo Il Molinello you’ll be able to enjoy a diverse array of Tuscany cycling routes. There are bike routes to the UNESCO World Heritage site Val d’Orcia, tracks across the stark but gentle landscape of Crete Senesi, or lanes cutting through the vineyards of Chianti and Montalcino. You’ll also get a chance to walk the hallowed halls where the Chianti wine was born, or to stroll in such renowned and beautiful towns as Siena and Pienza.

You will be warmly welcomed for all 6 nights of your Tuscany bike tour at Il Molinello, a family-run farm stay, or agriturismo. This is an excellent way to discover Tuscany at its most real and authentic. As well as being a working farm, Il Molinello has premium accommodation options with luxury trappings—perfect for couples, solo travelers, and families alike.

Ecological sensibilities are also fully respected on this greenest of Tuscan bike tour vacations. The farm at Il Molinello has its own organic extra-virgin olive oil production and an organic vegetable garden, and all the apartments have been restored with locally sourced material (travertine and wood). Il Molinello is also energy-independent thanks to solar PV panels, solar water-heating, and other renewable energy sources.

And a complete cultural immersion into the Tuscan lifestyle—together with a warm hospitality—is guaranteed from Sandro and his wife Elisa, together with his parents Mauro and Paola, and his children Emma, Guido, and Bernardo. Not forgetting, of course, their four-legged friends Nerone, Princess Fichina and Regina, il gatto.

Guaranteed

Confirmed tours are dates that have been selected by us that have a very high probability of reaching the minimum group size for us to run the tour and for you to receive the best Ciclismo Classico experience. These tours are confirmed as much as a year in advance, compared to our regularly scheduled tours which are confirmed around 90 days prior to departure.  When you place your deposit for a confirmed tour, you have the green light to make your pre and post travel plans and even book your flight with our personal guarantee that your tour will run!

Optional Single Supplement

If you are traveling alone, this optional single supplement will guarantee you a room to yourself at each hotel. The cost of a single room is often more than half the price of a shared room, so this additional supplement reflects that increased cost for each night over the course of the trip.
