Tuscan Hill Towns by Bike​

An ancient Florentine palace completely redecorated and refurbished in the old Florentine style, Hotel Adler Cavalieri is located in the historical center of Florence, a few steps from the main railway station of Santa Maria Novella. Its location in the old city center makes for an easy walk to restaurants, cafés and shops.

Located in the heart of Siena, far from the city noise and near the city walls, this historic property was once a 14th-century Carmelite monastery and is now classified as a holiday resort. It features 17 comfortable rooms overlooking either the internal cloister or the valley south of Siena. The atmosphere is very peaceful and familiar. Breakfast is served in the ancient “barrel room” where monks used to press and store wine in big barrels. The cloister offers seating and relaxation.

Set in the heart of Pienza, Il Chiostro di Pienza is a historic 15th-century cloister that has been renovated into a magnificent 4-star property. It was named after the beautiful cloister of the convent and church of San Francesco. As you relax in your comfortable accommodations, you’ll find that its central location enables you to easily explore this Renaissance city, well-preserved and rich in history. With views of the Orcia and Asso valleys, a refined restaurant featuring Tuscan specialties, and an outdoor swimming pool, Il Chiostro’s hospitality has delighted visitors for years. An internet connection is available in the hotel lobby.

Located in the heart of the city, a few steps from Piazza Del Popolo and the wonderful Santa Maria del Popolo Church (with paintings by Caravaggio), this charming property is intimate and refined. It features a very good restaurant called Caravaggio, a nice breakfast room, and friendly staff at bar and reception. VBT has reserved only superior rooms, larger than the otherwise very small standard bedrooms. It’s a great spot from which to discover the Eternal City. An internet connection is available in the hotel lobby.

The Villa Ducci was once the residential villa of the Ducci family, who in the 19th century built their house around the ancient medieval watchtower of San Biagio. The villa was completely restored in 2003 and transformed into an elegant small hotel, featuring an amazing view from the swimming pool and garden of the city of San Gimignano and its medieval towers. An internet connection is available in the hotel lobby.
