Siena - Enjoy a spectacular morning ride to Siena, Italy’s best-preserved Medieval city and famous for its magnificent artistic heritage. We will enjoy a guided tour of the ghetto site and the beautiful synagogue, the only Italian synagogue in use dating before Napoleon. Spend the afternoon exploring art museums, visit the 13th century Duomo, shop Siena’s elegant boutiques or sip cappuccino in the Piazza del Campo.
Lucignano and Monte San Savino - In the morning we’ll pedal southeast from Siena through some of the most graceful rolling hills in Tuscany. Arrive in Asciano for a mid-day lunch. Our afternoon ride will take us to Casa Bianca, our home for the next two nights. Perched secluded on a hilltop, the tiny hamlet of Casa Bianca will offer a delightful stay with magnificent vistas of the surrounding countryside.The following day cycle via the hilltop town of Lucignano to Monte San Savino and meet with Renato Giulietti from the comune, or town hall. Explore the fashionable ghetto area and abandoned synagogue. Wander the back streets of centuries old Lucignano; beautifully created in concentric circles. Our leisurely ride through this very quiet and unspoiled part of Tuscany will bring us back to Casa Bianca to relax by the hotels swimming pool. Rendezvous in the dinning room for a wonderful meal inspired by the hotel’s Tuscan country kitchen.
