Cycling in Italy is something everyone can enjoy around our holiday home. There are marvell­ous trails of various levels of diffi­culty and duration. For example, what about a leisu­rely forest trail? Or do you prefer steep mountain slopes? Then, the Foresta di Berignone and the Parco Naturale Monte­rufoli right next to the Agritu­rismo Podere Palazzone are the best choices. In fact, they offer great terrain for biking. You’ll find rivers, gorges, wild nature, and breath­ta­king views here. You will encoun­ter the authen­tic Tuscany with its old farmhou­ses, castle ruins and ancient bridges. MTB freaks shouldn’t miss the challen­ging Massa Marit­tima Trail Area. Those bikers who are interes­ted in a guided tour are in good hands with our local guides.

The hilly roads between Siena are some of the best cycling roads in Italy. That’s why numerous inter­na­tio­nal cycling teams hold their spring training in Tuscany. Italian World Champion Paolo Bettini grew up not far from our hometown Pomarance. He earned his spurs on this asphalt. Hence, he is patron of the Green Fondo Paolo Bettini bicycle race, which is held here every year. The Giro d’Italia passed through Pomarance. As well as the Coast-to-Coast Tirreno-Adria­tico. If you you are a road biker, you can ride the Gran Fondo di Pomarance or reach the Maremma via the Colline Metal­li­fere.

More relaxed tours for leisure cycling lead from the holiday home Podere Palazzone to the sea towards Bibbona. Also, the single stages of the Eroica tour through the marvell­ous rolling hills around Siena are very beautiful. In Radicon­doli you come across the Grand­tour Val di Merse. If you don’t have your own bike with you, there are bike rental facili­ties with all you may dream of, from ultra-modern racing bikes to mountain bikes, e‑bikes and fat bikes. It is best to book in advance.
