This holiday combines gentle pedalling through olive groves, sunflowers, vineyards and apricot orchards with the chance to explore some of Italy’s most fascinating historical towns and villages. You stay in a variety of delightful country houses and farm hotels (one of which is literally overflowing with exquisite antiques) within easy reach of Spello, Assisi, Spoleto and the lovely hilltop wine village of Montefalco, ‘the balcony of Umbria’.

You freewheel along the stately Roman Via Flaminia and follow in the footsteps of emperors at the sacred springs of Clitunno. In Assisi you visit St Francis’ Basilica with its beautifuly ornate frescoes and then his peaceful forest retrea on Monte Subiaso where he used to stroll and preach to the birds. In Spoleto you explore exciting Roman remains including Emperor Vespasian’s mother’s house, with its fascinating original atrium, baths and mosaics. And, wherever you are, the gorgeous summer climate is always on hand and the sun-drenched scenery is perfectly soothing; lush green plains, hilltop villages with soft terracotta colours and the romantic Apennines peaks guarding the horizon.
