Hotel in Tuscany - How to choose the right one ?: Villa in Tuscany

Biking in Cortona - Tuscany

The basic hire of City bikes or Mountain bikes, cost about 10 - 20 euro for the day (includes helmet, repair kit, pump and a map of the cycle paths along the vast Valdichiana valley). Valdichiana valley runs north from the Arezzo area and south below Cortona – Umbria border till the Lake of Trasimeno. The paths mainly follow a canal which makes for easy riding. You could go south from Cortona towards the Etruscan town of Chiusi (40km) and find nice villages where to eat at lakeside restaurants en route or head north to Arezzo (30km) with its famous medieval centre, amphitheatre and Renaissance art. You could also go one direction by bikes and return from one of the towns around, as Chiusi, Arezzo back to terontola or Camucia station (or vice versa) as to cycle the entire length of the Valdichiana it is too much difficulty. Riding off road by the canals is perfect exercise for and safer then on roads. The route is also easy and you can admire the 18th century Tuscan farmhouses and the archetypal Tuscan landscape along the route. There is also a possibility that bike renting agencies will take you with their minibus up into the hills around Cortona so that you can explore the hills by mounting bike without having to start the day by climbing them. Cortona pouring down the olive clad hillsides will stay imprinted on your minds for many years to come.
