​​anghiari​ - april to october

Picture
This lovely tour gives you a real taste of both Tuscany and Umbria.  ​Cycling along quiet roads with a few gentle climbs around the local lake of Montedoglio plus a big day out riding around the beautiful lake Trasimeno checking out the site where Hannibal and his Carthaginians slayed the Romans (in terms of the men involved, the largest ambush in military history!).

DAY 2
Our first day out and we can’t wait to get you riding some of those Tuscan hills!   Today we will cycle around Lago di Montedoglio drinking in the iconic scenery, stopping off in the beautiful 11th century town of Sansepolcro for coffee and cake and then homeward bound for lunch in Anghiari.  Followed by a few hours of free time around the pool before your well deserved home cooked dinner at our wonderful hand picked villa in Tuscany.

DAY 3
It's our big day out today, so we will be setting off early to get to the beautiful Lago Trasimeno. This is where Tuscany spills over into Umbria. Italy's fourth-largest lake is a prime spot for us to get off the well-trodden trail for a few hours.   Around this beautiful lake, we will be cycling through silver-green olive groves, vines and ancient woods of oak and cypress.  Sunflower fields frame the castle-topped medieval towns of Castiglione del Lago and Passignano, where we will be stopping off for refreshments along the way and then lunch high on the hillside in a fabulous restaurant overlooking the lake.  It's then back to the villa for a well earned afternoon of relaxation and home prepared evening meal.

DAY 4
For our last cycling day we have a great little ride for you, heading off through Anghiari over the Carmine ridge climbing up to and through the beautiful nature reserve of Monte Rognosi and on to the gorgeous little village of Ponte alla Piera.  It's then back to Anghari for a pizza lunch and homeward bound for a free afternoon around the pool or an unsupervised local ride (maps will be provided). Relax over dinner at the retreat while you reminisce over the epic rides you and your like-minded intrepid colleagues have accomplished over the past few days.
