Upon arrival make your way to your first hotel in or nearby Assisi. After check-in you are free to relax and explore the town. Take a stroll to get your bearings and although the town can be busy at times you’ll notice there is still a calm and tranquil atmosphere about it. We suggest a visit to the Basilica of St Francis where St Francis is laid to rest. It is quite impressive with frescos by well known artists such as Giotto. Maybe visit one or two of the less well-known churches, which are equally lovely, such as the Church of St Clare before settling down in one of the many street cafes or restaurants for a spot of people watching.

After breakfast your cycling adventure begins. We suggest you start early today so that you can appreciate the varied countryside and have time to explore some of the delightful villages along the route. You’ll definitely want to take a break in the pretty walled town of Spello. Stroll around the quaint narrow alleys, enjoying the floral displays which seem to leap from the sandstone buildings. Eventually you arrive in Spoleto, a gorgeous hilltop town surrounded by evergreen trees and your home for the evening.

More wonderful Umbrian countryside awaits as you continue your ride across the Valley of Umbria. Rolling countryside and picture perfect scenery lead you northwards. Every now and then you'll pass through tiny villages and hamlets where you may be tempted to stop for refreshment. Stop to admire the ornate interior of the Santuario Madonna della Stella catholic church before embarking on the final climb of the day up to up to the beautiful medieval village of Montefalco. Often referred to as 'The Balcony of Umbria' because of it's elevated position and stunning views of the surrounding countryside, you are bound to enjoy your night spent in this enchanting little village.

Today’s ride leads you past olive groves and vineyards along the western flank of the Umbrian Valley. The first section leads you downhill to the town of Bevagna. Stop and take in the busting atmosphere of the beautiful medieval square with its fountain and Romanesque churches. From here you can either take on the longer route to visit the Franciscan basilica in S.Maria degli Angeli with its impressive dome and humble little chapel or you can follow the Bevagna to Assisi bike path along the valley floor back to Assisi where you will spend the last night of your Umbrian cycling adventure.

After breakfast it’s time to check-out and head for home or your next adventure.
