Two loop routes have been specially designed for our guests in partnership with Anima Toscana. These are escorted tours for small groups, to be done with electric bikes (e-bikes) or, for the more trained, with trekking bikes. The first, about 36 km length, runs through the surrounding forests and the city of Volterra; the second, about 45 km length, is centred on San Gimignano and the lands of Vernaccia: here we suggest combining the tour with a break for lunch and tasting in a typical winery. In addition to the tailored routes, you are also welcomed to hire a bike and explore Tuscany in the most suitable way throughout your vacation.
