Italy Coast to Coast Cycling Tour
01 – 05 September 2025
Italy Coast to Coast Cycling Tour with Sportive Breaks
Is there a better long weekend of riding than this? Starting on the beach in Cattolica on the Adriatic, we ride into the heart of Emilia Romagna taking in some of the climbs of the Nove Colli before heading to Tuscany with gravel roads, rolling hills and sleepy hilltop villages. We finish on the Tuscan coast in time to watch the sunset with a glass of Prosecco; a perfect long weekend of riding!
Our Italy Coast to Coast Tour is a 4-night break riding from the sandy beaches of Emilia Romagna to the Tuscan Coast across Italy’s stunning mainland. This small group ride is led by our expert guides and support vehicle as we ride together on the flats and at our own pace on the climbs. Afternoons are spent relaxing with a couple of beers and some amazing local food.
We move around each night on our Italy Coast to Coast. Starting on the Adriatic coast in Cattolica, our hotel is a family run 4* hotel with excellent food. Moving onto the spa town of Bagno di Romagna our hotel has a great wellness area and even better food. Into Tuscany we stay out in the hills before the last evening on the coast. This ride comprises a mix of 3 & 4* hotels whilst seeing the best of this part of Italy.

We roll out at 09:30am and head down the coast for a glorious stretch of road that hugs the Adriatic. We then turn inland to take on some of the climbs of the Nove Colli before finishing in the spa town of Bagno di Romagna.
This evening we stay in Bagno di Romagna, officially one of the most beautiful villages in Italy and home to hot thermal springs – perfect for relaxing after a day in the saddle. Enjoy access to the hotel spa and once you’ve recovered, join us for dinner which is included in your package.

We ride out to the south of Bagno di Romagna across the Apennines and soon cross into Tuscany, renowned for its picturesque landscape with rolling hills, vineyards and olive groves. We arrive in the Tuscan gem of Siena – where the evening is free for you to explore the delights of the town, including the Piazza del Campo where the world-famous Palio takes place twice a year. Dinner is not included this evening.

A stunning ride through Tuscany travelling via Chianti & riding through famous hilltop towns including Volterra & San Gimignano. We finish before sunset on the Tuscan coast for a beer and celebratory meal!
We will pack up bikes the night before so you can have a lazy breakfast and still get home to enjoy most of your Friday. We’ll depart the hotel at 09:00am, to arrive at Pisa Airport for 10:00am. Please book flights to depart from Pisa after midday (12:00pm).
