Description

Visiting the architecturally delightful city of Siena is a must for anyone staying in the area. There is no better way to pay a quick visit than by bike. The route starts in a long descent with only one significant climb (300m) to tackle before stopping in Siena. We have recommended a great lunch stop where you can soak up the sun in the Piazza del Campo dominated by the grand clock tower. Il Palio, the horse race in the Piazza del Campo, between resident ‘contrade’ of Siena is a lively occasion held twice in the summer. The route back to Montieri is much more hilly as you navigate through the crete senesi with well over half effort left and passes through some remote and tranquil natural reserves, before the steady (averaging between 4-7%) final climb back to Hotel Refugio Prategiano. You will probably appreciate a post-ride recovery dip in the hotel pool. Buon Giro!
