Lucca, Vinci, Pisa and San Gimignano

Gently rolling hills, cypress trees and medieval hill towns: there is hardly a more beautiful way to discover Tuscany than by bike. From your base hotel in Montecatini Terme, you cycle to Lucca, Vinci, Pisa and San Gimignano. Along the way, a picnic in a castle garden, a wine tasting and what is arguably the most famous gelato in Tuscany await you.
