RoadVal di Cornia is one of Tuscany's best cycling playgrounds — here is what surrounds the villa.
7,000 hectares of protected Mediterranean forest with quiet gravel roads and MTB trails, minutes from the door.
The roads and white tracks of the Tuscany Trail run through this exact area — ride the real thing, any day.
Around 10 km of headland trails over the sea, and 20 km more in the Bandite di Scarlino towards Punta Ala.
The Bolgheri cypress avenue and Castagneto Carducci to the north, the Sassetta and Monteverdi hills inland, Monte Arsenti and Massa Marittima to the east.
Sample itineraries from the Ride Base Pack — turn single routes into a relaxed cycling holiday.
Day 1 arrival and bike setup. Day 2 the Suvereto & Sterpaia gravel loop. Day 3 the Follonica road loop at recovery pace. Day 4 breakfast, optional short spin, departure.
Warm up on Gravel 1, go long on Road 1, then a recovery day of beach and wine tasting. Finish with the adventurous Gravel 2 and an easy Road 2 to spin the legs before departure.
Bike rentals delivered to the villa, airport and station transfers, luggage logistics, local guides and custom trip planning — arranged before you arrive.
Spring and autumn are the sweet spot. Rental shops, guided tours and shuttles are available locally. And don't miss a sunset gelato at Piazza Bovio, a wine tasting in Suvereto, a swim at Baratti after your ride.
Book directly with Villa Toscana — your hosts know these routes first-hand.
