Cycling in southern Tuscany

The daily stages are not too long and of medium character in hilly terrain. Some cycling experience and moderate fitness are required to enjoy the trip. Little shade on the roads means it can get hot, especially in midsummer. The Montalcino loop can feel tougher, but a shorter variant is available.

In Buonconvento you stay at an organic agriturismo where they produce their own olive oil and other agricultural products. Here there is a large outdoor pool and an indoor pool connected to a spa with treatment facilities. In Pienza you stay at a small and comfortable place.
