Hi All,
Wife and I are riding bikes to Tuscany this coming end of September to mid October and are looking for a good agriturismo type accommodation outside of main hustle and bustle of Florence. Preferably, we would like it to be in the middle of small village with a train or a bus link to the city.
Can anybody recommend a place to stay, perhaps some of you own a place and willing to let for a week to a fellow GSer?
While on the subject of travel, would you take a train/ferry crossing to northern France, ride 3-4 days to Tuscany stay a week in Tuscany and ride 3-4 days back, or would you take a ferry from Portsmouth to Santander , ride 2 days through Pyrenees, South of France and into Italy stay a week and do same return journey to Santander?
Return ferry cost (Portsmouth-Santander-Portsmouth) at the moment is circa £700 for two bikes and a cabin each way.
