Accommodation

The venue was historically the principle support building for the main villa on the estate and all its agricultural activities. Set in the heart of a vast property of rolling hills, vineyards, and olive groves, it's recently been fully renovated. It has everything you need including your own pool and yoga studio! The estate’s olive grove produces its fine quality cold-pressed oil, seasonal fruit and vegetables, and fresh eggs when the hens are laying.

Near the ancient fortified city of Lucca, it was built in 1729, and the whole estate is a fine example of a summer retreat for the nobility. The estate and its buildings have been sympathetically renovated to provide accommodation that is comfortable and luxurious, combined with classic elegant Tuscan style.

Program

Pedal, Stretch, and breathe

Sometimes, it takes a special place in your life and the right setting to unravel and let go. Soulfit Adventures cycling retreat in Lucca, Tuscany offers an exquisite opportunity to do just that. There is something about Tuscany. It has a way of enveloping you, of transporting you from the everyday and it makes you feel as if you are living life in slow motion. The rest of the world disappears. Tuscany has magic, a special power, an unknown quantity that seeps into every part of your being and seduces you in the best possible way. Top that with cycling and it doesn't get much better.

Lucca is a classic cycling destination and has been home to many professional cyclists through the years. From the flat promenade along the coast of Viareggio to the high peaks of the Apuan Alps, and rolling hills through olive groves, forests, and vineyards, you have the opportunity to cycle in all kinds of terrain and vistas. Each day is different, taking you into small villages, hamlets, and high mountains off the beaten paths to discover what waits. You'll be nestled in boutique luxury accommodation on a private estate, setting the backdrop for morning or evening yoga as we cycle away the day. You will relish in the cuisine of fresh local produce, made in-house by our private cook, indulge in local wines, absorbing the sights – a pure delight for the senses - Tuscan style!

Whatever you seek on your Tuscan cycling adventure, you will experience La Dolce Vita, the sweet life, and leave with a renewed sense of vitality and a restored approach to life. Adventures awaits!
