Signature
We use premium hotels that are unique expressions of the region. Often they’ve had a previous life as a monastery or a castle, but in every case they offer an exceptionally comfortable stay.
Bistro
These are stylish 4-star properties that offer a casual and comfortable stay. Often without a 24-hour concierge or room service, they tend to be smaller family-run hotels that are perfect for the region.

From the Eternal City to rolling Tuscan hills

Explore the remarkable outdoor museum that is Roma, then pedal through Tuscan hilltop towns that have stood watch here since the Middle Ages. On this exciting family adventure, we’ll keep the kids entertained with gladiator battles, gelato tasting and medieval flag throwing. In the meantime, you’ll spend your days revelling in the local culture, cycling the spectacular landscapes, and savouring traditional cuisine made from the freshest and tastiest native ingredients. From the remarkable Eternal City to lordly Montepulciano, Italy truly is La Dolce Vita.

Day by Day

Set out with your local guide on a family scavenger hunt, which will introduce you to the Pantheon, the Trevi fountain and many other treasures only the Romans know about!

Spend the day discovering ancient Rome, with stops at the Colosseum and the Roman Forum. Then, visit a real-life gladiator school, where the kids will master their combat techniques. Tonight, you're in for a private lesson in gelato and pizza making!

Set off on a ride through the Val di Chiana toward Tre Rose Estate, producers of vino nobile, Chianti and Brunello (all of which we’ll taste). Tonight, enjoy a feast of delicacies prepared by Amorosa’s chef.

Pedal sunflower-lined country roads to a homemade lunch at the Lungarella family’s country house (save room for Mamma Sara's tiramisú!). Tonight, explore the boutiques, art galleries, and restaurants in the hilltop town of Cortona.

Visit the magnificent 13thC cathedral in Siena, as well as the Piazza del Campo (the location of the famed Palio horse race). This afternoon, either test your skills on the high-ropes course or embark on one of the most scenic bike routes in Tuscany.

Arrive in Montepulciano and sample its fine vino nobile. Your guide will introduce you to the local artisans and point you toward our favourite specialty food shops as you meander through town. Tonight, a troupe of medieval flag-throwers join us to demonstrate their ancient art form (and give the kids a hands-on lesson!).

After breakfast at the hotel, we’ll drive you to Florence train station or airport for your onward travels.

Hotels

Crossing Condotti, Rome

A unique hotelier just steps from Piazza di Spagna in the historic centre of Rome, this hideaway is an authentic “home away from home”. Housed in a former residence, the interior features original wooden ceilings, and beautiful prints and paintings; in fact, the antique furnishings are from the owner's private collection. View hotel website »

Locanda dell'Amorosa, Sinalunga

When Carlo Citterio set out to restore the property that has been in his family for centuries, his first step was to convert the stables into a superb restaurant. Soon other buildings were refurbished: your bedroom may well have been a clock tower or the hunting lodge. Literally translated as “lodging of romance,” the Locanda exudes just that, and has long been a favourite B&R retreat. View hotel website »

Meals and tours of the vineyards were great. Loved the hotel selections. Dana did an amazing job - doubly difficult since she was guiding solo!

Activity Level What’s Included Gear Extend Your Trip

Enthusiast

Since most towns in Tuscany are perched on magnificent hilltops, most days include some challenging climbs. Total daily biking distances average 41 km (25 mi.) with shorter distances for family rides. We’ve also planned lots of fun alternatives for young travellers. The B&R van is always nearby for those looking to hitch a ride. The activities on this trip are geared for children 12 years old and up.

The Traveller

“I bike about once a week at home.”

The Terrain

Gently rolling countryside, with occasional longer climbs to points that are well worth the effort. Layover days accommodate varying preferences.

What’s included? Everything you need. Plus everything you’d
want. Plus a few things you never knew you wanted ‘til you got them.

In a word: everything. In ninety words? Signature B&R guides; local experts; unique, unforgettable biking and walking routes; private tours; authentic local cuisine; lessons and demonstrations; local artisanal wines; wine tastings; all victuals and libations; all the endorphins you can handle; new insight; interesting, fun and like-minded travel companions; a feeling of total freedom. In short: an extraordinary, hassle-free journey of discovery.
