Cycle Italy

It's generally agreed that the cycling possibilities throughout Tuscany are excellent - smooth roads, beautiful scenery, challenging climbs, long down hill runs, and historical sites and vineyards on every route.

If cycling is one of the true passions in your life, then come to paradise, for no other country in the world is in love with the bicycle like the Italians. The terrain and scenery here are simply unmatched: from flats to rolling hills to steep climbs, Tuscany has it all! The mild Tuscan climate in spring and autumn is ideal for a cycling vacation.

At Villa Michelangelo, we are uniquely placed to offer a wide variety of self guided cycle routes (we supply route with easy to follow directions), either starting and finishing at the villa, or being transported out to location and given a route back. It is also possible to spend the morning cycling and then return to the villa for lunch with a relax in the afternoon by the pool or spa.

Tuscany, itself, is one of the better known regions of Italy. It was here that Michelangelo and Leonardo da Vinci created their best works of art. Villa Michelangelo lies in the heart of the Apennine Mountains, and is in fact an excellent base for circuits literally to all four points of the compass. The surrounding villages, history, art and landscape will inspire you every day with new surprises.
