Crete Tuscany Bike Tour

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.

In the Crete Tuscany bike tour  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 Crete 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.
