Book your villa in Tuscany and you’ll be able to easily organise your arrival thanks to these new direct flights...

This is for lovers of cycling and the Chianti hills....

Every first weekend in October an exclusive (non-competitive) vintage bicycle race called "L'EROICA" is organized in Gaiole in Chianti. It really is a celebration to the tradition of cycling.

The race is conceived to make a proper tribute to the tradition and the people that made the sport of bicycle racing an excellence.

The event, in fact, involves the participation of around 4000 runners from all over Europe, armed with their vintage bicycles, as well as their clothing in line with the past: knitted wool, leather shoes and hats for a real journey back in time.

Castello di Brolio is a famous and beautiful Tuscan castle in the southern Chianti countryside, located on top of an isolated hill a few kilometers from Gaiole. It is famous for its stunning architecture, grounds and views but is also supposedly home to several ghosts and is where one of the most famous wines in the region was born.

A visit to the castle provides a whole day out as there is plenty of cultural and artistic gems and historic insights to be discovered but there is also still a functioning vineyard on the property where you can take tours and even sample a little of the lauded local tipple.

Once you have found a villa with a pool in Chianti and are exploring the region, you can rest assured knowing that you have one day trip planned already.

Why not take the hassle out of your next holiday stay in Tuscany and simply rent a scooter or Vespa to explore some of the region’s most beautiful areas? Luckily for tourists, there is a fantastic rental agency in the Chianti wine producing region that provides this exciting service.

Their website offers an unbeatable service as it even offers a door to door pick up service for visitors staying at hotels or rental properties in the area. The rental agency is located in the town of Radda in Chianti.

For those who want the open road to lead the way then why not book a 125cc Vespa LX or a Honda SH125 for only €50 a day, or a 100cc Sym Mio retro styled scooter for €40 a day.

Enjoy zooming through the Tuscan countryside, stopping off at scenic towns and tourist attractions along the way! These superb rates include insurance and a helmet for the day also.

For avid cycling enthusiasts contemplating a Tuscan getaway, mark your calendars for a truly exceptional experience this fall – L'Eroica. Autumn is already the ideal time to come to Tuscany in order to enjoy outdoor pursuits as the landscape of famous rolling green hills of the region is even lovelier when dressed in fall colours – making for especially scenic surroundings to admire on your adventures – and the milder weather after the hot summer is more conducive to enjoying outdoor pursuits comfortably.

L’Eroica, meanwhile, takes place on the first Sunday of October each year in the enchanting province of Siena and is an annual non-competitive cycling event that celebrates vintage cycling culture. Participants immerse themselves in the nostalgia of the past by riding vintage bicycles, adorned in accessories and clothing from pre-1987. Combining the thrill of cycling with a vintage flair amidst the captivating Tuscan landscapes, L'Eroica is a distinct and captivating event. And, certainly, cycling fans who book a vacation rental in Siena at the beginning of October won’t want to miss it!

Brolio Castle in the Chianti area of Tuscany is one of the most picturesque castles of the region as well as home to the vineyards from which the Ricasoli family has been distilling their famous wine since the middle ages. Its history, beauty and amenities are unparalleled. Why not find a villa with a pool in Chianti and spend a day exploring it for yourself?

The building has Lombard origins but nothing of the original structure exists today. Due to its strategic location, it was used as a military outpost by Florence, to whom they were affiliated despite the proximity of Siena.
