Welcome to this fantastic Co Ed Tuscany Retreat full of cycling, yoga, outrageous fun and spirited adventures in the magical heart of Tuscany.

Get ready for an AWESOME week of fun and adventure.  We look forward to seeing you in Italy!

Please feel free to call or write if you have further questions.

With excitement and anticipation,

What to Expect at the La Dolce Vita Co Ed Tuscany Cycling Tour: 

Most mornings we will begin with yoga to awaken our senses and limber our bodies before enjoying a buffet breakfast with foamy cappuccinos. Then we’ll pedal our E-Bikes on the Tuscan roads, famous for their cypress trees, lack of traffic, and friendly drivers. Our afternoons will be spent exploring villages, swimming in the calm sea or our 25 meter pool which is right out our door, and rekindling the spark for life.

Throughout the retreat, you will have personal and individualized professional instruction and guidance during all activities. Our staff consists of world-class athletes and coaches, who will offer you heartfelt support and instruction. We’ll create small riding groups to ensure everyone rides with others at a similar ability level. Riding options are provided for beginners to accomplished riders. And, all rides are fully supported with a bike mechanic and a sag wagon (full of fruit, water, cookies and, of course, chocolate). PLUS we have E-Bkes!!!
