Bicycling in Tuscany among the hills of Chianti

Known for its famous wine, romantic villas and country houses, and splendid tranquil landscape, Tuscany has emerged as a haven for cyclists.

Cyclists at all levels can enjoy riding among the splendid Chianti hillside forgetting about the effort of pedaling as one is surrounded by the beauty of the Tuscan landscape.

With weekly bicycle excursions through the Tuscan hillside or on day trips while vacationing in the farm estate, cycling through Tuscany makes for a tranquil and relaxing way to experience the country and continues to attract an ever increasing number of visitors.

Here are some comments from cyclists who have recently completed a week bike tour of our area: "We would bring a packed lunch with us and eat among the hills, on the side of a white road, in front of a shaded vineyard. After a brief rest in the shade, and another pleasant hour-long ride, we would return to the farm house apartment, our base for enjoying remarkable Tuscan sunsets after taking a pleasant dip in the pool.”

Experiences such as these characterize Tuscany as one of the most unique and desired vacation spots among tourists. There are many possibilities for renting bicycles in the nearby towns of Siena and Florence. In addition, many of the well-equipped country houses of Monaciano can arrange for mountain bikes to be delivered to clients. Happy cycling!
