The Argentario Golf Resort & Spa, an eco-hotel in Porto Ercole, Tuscany, offers its guests Pirelli electric bicycles for two-wheel tours of this beautiful area.
The Tuscan Maremma is uniquely diverse, with crystal-clear sea, long beaches and wild rocks, thickly forested mountains, lakes and plains, green hills and natural springs. It's a timeless place deeply rooted in ancient civilisations and makes a perfect holiday destination.
Immersed in this environment is the Argentario Golf Resort & Spa, an eco-hotel that now also offers Pirelli CYCL-e around electric bikes. “Protecting nature and operating sustainably are fundamental values for us and CYCL-e around is a great example of sustainable mobility,” says Tania Guidarini, sales executive and MICE at the resort. “It allows our guests to explore the Tuscan Maremma on two wheels, pollution-free and in direct contact with nature.”
Close to nature
Located near the charming seaside resort of Porto Ercole, in the midst of cork oaks and centuries-old olive trees, home to hares, fallow deer, squirrels, wild boar and a variety of species of birds, the Argentario Golf Resort & Spa offers designer rooms and villas, a golf course and a large spa. It is an oasis of greenery and eco-sustainable tranquillity that is protective of nature and the local landscape.
“The resort nestles in a panoramic valley surrounded by Mediterranean vegetation and overlooking the Orbetello Lagoon and the Gulf of Talamone,” says Guidarini. “It offers total privacy and relaxation, but is also very close to the villages of Porto Ercole and Orbetello, and the beaches of Feniglia and Giannella. Our guests seek the comfort of a strategic position, but also the chance to find themselves again thanks to nature and relaxation, as well as our services."
A great way to explore
The hotel chose Pirelli CYCL-e around because it marries perfectly with this philosophy and provides guests with a different and sustainable two-wheel experience. Every Thursday and Friday they can ride a premium Pirelli electric bike in the company of a cycle tour guide on a journey of discovery into the surrounding area and its nature.
“We have many fantastic cycle routes,” explains Guidarini. “The favourites include a 17km tour that passes through Orbetello, Ansedonia and the Duna Feniglia Nature Reserve, and a shorter 15km route exploring Porto Ercole, Poggio Pertuso and Cala Galera. For more experienced cyclists there is also a 30km route (taking around four hours) that passes through Orbetello, Ansedonia up to the Peat and Capalbio.”
Thanks to the assisted pedalling of the e-bikes, these tours are suitable for all – not just those who are super-fit, but also those unused to great physical exertion.
The CYCL-e around Tuscany package includes three nights at the Argentario Golf Resort & Spa, e-bike rental, welcome dinner and use of the wellness centre and sports fields, making it the perfect recipe for a few days of total relaxation.
