introduction

After retiring from professional cycling in 2005, Andrea and his wife Gloria, set about transforming a 17th century mill into “Il Borghetto”, a haven for cycling enthusiasts. Now you can enjoy the charm and cuisine of Tuscany, and the hospitality of one of the professional peleton’s most popular figures in one package.

highlights

Tuscany is home to a great number of pro-teams and cyclists, so its common place to find yourself exchanging waves with some of the sports best known athletes. Then there’s the appeal of the great cultural treasures, Renaissance cities, beautiful countryside, not to mention great hospitality, cuisine and wine!

Our Tuscany package offers you a unique opportunity to rub shoulders off the bike with former pro-cyclist and Paris Roubais winner Andrea Tafi, whilst enjoying a week of challenging or leisurely all day rides. You could also incorporate the surrounding cities of Vinci, Florence, Lucca, Montecatini Terme and the Parco Naturale Alpi Apuane.
