Itinerary
Day 1:

Day 2:
Morning trail run or hike and swim back to the villa.
We then take a short drive and a second swim at Cannelle Beach.
In the afternoon we travel through Tuscany to the Rieti Valley. Also known as the Scared Valley. This area is known for its picturesque landscapes and medieval villages. Our camp home base is here, in a renovated 18-century villa complete with an outdoor 25 meter pool. Unpack and build your bike with the help of mechanic support or pick up your rental bike.

Day 3:
Ride the classic Monte Terminillo. The day begins with a climb to a frequent Giro'Italia climb after a cafe stop to fuel up, it is time to take on Monte Terminillo with its switch back and steep final miles. This beast is always a favorite ride of the week! For those wanting an easier day, you can head back to the villa after the cafe stop and enjoy an afternoon in pool and garden.
In the afternoon we will have a pool swim at the Villa followed by an evening cooking class to learn how to cook all your favorite Italian dishes!
