A lovely way to see Tuscany and the surrounding area. But, you definitely need to be cycle fit. It is not a leisurely cycle because it is so hilly. It was great to have more than one night at a hotel. Excellent choice of hotels.
We ha a good holiday on the whole, it would have been a great holiday if not for some of the very avoidable problems mentioned
Main highlight for us was experiencing the magnificent Tuscan landscapes whilst cycling through them and the friendliness of the hotel hosts.

We really enjoyed the hotel and meals in Relais Della Rovere and meals in Buonconvento (arranged by ourselves due to the appalling restaurant and staff at Pieve a Salti) !!
We should perhaps have been prepared for this but San Gimignano was simply heaving with tourists and heavy road traffic and we escaped it as quickly as we could. By contrast, Montalcino was an absolute delight. In view of the short days on the bike, we spent more time eating that we had intended but, given where we were, this was no great hardship!
Tuscany on Two Wheels was a very well planned holiday with a lovely variety of places to stay. Toiano was particularly beautiful, the food fantastic at the local restaurant down the road and the Caterina very convenient for going in and out of Siena with ease. Although Pieve a Salti seemed rather large at first being split on two sites, it was so incredibly well organised and made it very relaxed. The views were amazing and the taxi service fantastic between accommodation and restaurant and also down to Buonconvento early in the morning for our departure. The cycling was very quiet on the whole and we loved the strade bianche. The only busy bit was the route to San Gimignano which could be a bit 'trafficy' for a first day ride. We enjoyed extending the holiday by a few days especially a bit more time in Siena and there are some lovely walks through the woods at Toiano to provide a contrast to cycling.
We very much enjoiyed our holiday in Tuscany. The cycle routes were quite varied and interesting giving the impression that you were seeing a good cross-section of Tuscan scenery. The hotels were all good with two having the bonus of a pool. The Relais Borgo di Toiano was in a particulary idyllic setting well away from busy roads and with a stunning view. The most challenging hill was on the way up to the last hotel but we managed it without too much trouble. This bit of the route coincided with the route of the "Tuscany Trail", a 460km cycle over four days, so we were constantly being overtaken by very athletic cyclists! The holiday met the high standards that we have come to expect from Inntravel and we are looking forward to our next trip.
Lovely way to explore this part of Tuscany and excellent accommodation. It was worth spending an extra day in Pisa and Siena as they are beautiful cities. San Gimignano was very busy which we hadn't expected. Relais Borgo di Toiano was perfect and the restaurant Trattoria Ponte allo Spina an easy walk and superb food. It was worth cycling up to Montalcino, a long but gradual climb and there was a cycling festival taking place on the day we visited.
A wonderful and memorable holiday - we can highly recommend and will definitely book with Inntravel again - the arrangements were faultless
