When you think of ‘Tuscany’ you immediately think of the gravel roads of the 'Eroica' that have seen the history of cycling. In Fact, there is not a better place to go back in time and experience what is like to cycle on these unique roads.

"LIKE LISTENING TO CLASSICAL MUSIC"

"Cycling here in the Chianti region is a little piece of heaven. It's a bit like classical music. It' peaceful, serenity and the most beautiful sceneries that you can be possible to imagine. A super trip, totally relaxing, with lots of rolling hills".

CLIMATE

One of the main reasons we all love Tuscany is the weather! Close your eyes and picture yourself on one of those lovely balmy summer evenings when the weather in Tuscany is just perfect, relaxing outside by the pool, the heady perfume of jasmine hanging in the air, glass of Chianti in hand, mesmerised by the sheer spectacle that is a Tuscan sunset.

TERRAIN

The characteristic landscape is a blend of gently rolling hills leading on to sharply peaked mountains that pose a formidable barrier between Tuscany and regions to the south. It is bordered in the north and northeast by the Tuscan-Emilian Apennines and the Apuan Alps, these being separated by a series of long valleys.
