7-day Cycling Tour in Umbria Self-guided (Level 3)
This seven-day cycle tour is intended for tourists who want to experience the quiet, idyllic face of Italy. Every stage of the tour leads through lush olive groves, or past beautiful expanses of water such as the Tiber River or Lake Trasimeno. Of course, you will also pass through typically Italian medieval towns, with the well-known names of Assisi, Todi or Bettona. You will return ‘home’ every night – to the four-star Residenza d’Epoca alla Posta dei Donini.
The elegant 4* hotel is located in a quiet location in front of Perugia's town gates. The historic villa is embedded in its own park with many pine trees providing shade as well as its own rose garden, dreamy paths, ancient amphorae and etruscan urns. The lovely pool combined with its comfortable sun loungers are a great way to cool down after a wonderful day's cycling. The 450 metre squared spa area opened in 2017 and can be used by Eurobike cyclists at a special price. The outstanding restaurant offers you with Umbrian specialities, which have been reinterpreted in a modern way. When the weather is good, the attentive employees enjoy being able to serve you your dinner on the terrace. As the rooms are fitted out extremely well, you will feel comfortable in either a classic room, which are in the side building or in one of the deluxe rooms, which are in the main building. As the 'residenza' is family run, on top of all the rest you also get a personal touch to your stay!
On the stages to Lake Trasimeno and to Todi there are several longer ascents. All of the other day rides are predominantly flat or only have very small ascents. You cycle on wonderful, quiet side roads. Occasionally you cycle on good quality tracks. You only have to cycle on slightly busier roads on short connecting sections.

Arrival in San Martino in Campo
San Martino in Campo is a quiet town in the heart of Umbria and the perfect place for a relaxing vacation. Enjoy the idyllic surroundings with rolling hills, olive groves, and rustic charm. Here, you can experience the region’s authentic atmosphere and traditional way of life firsthand.
Assisi approx. 50km
The river Tiber is not far. Cycle along the river valley past the shimmering sunflowers and wheat fields. From afar you will then see the dome of Santa Maria degli Angeli, which is a pilgrimage church. It is well worth taking a break here especially if you haven't already. There is a short ascent up to Assisi after the church. The town of Saint Francis lies impressively on the edge of Mount Subasio. Finally, you cycle back down into the Tiber valley back to your luxury accommodation.
Todi approx. 50km + transfer
The typical, Umbrian landscape accompanies you today on your bike tour to Todi. Between the olive groves you keep on getting magnificent views across the Tiber valley. In the spring, the gorse shines vibrant yellow and in summer it is the turn of the sunflowers. In the distance you can see where you are headed for, Todi. Admire the medieval Piazza del Popolo whilst drinking a creamy cappuccino. In the evening you take the train back to San Martino in Campo.
Montefalco approx. 40km + transfer
There are three cultural highlights making for an entertaining cycle today. Bettona perches majestically like a swallow's nest on a small hill and has a medieval flair with its narrow roads. You also immerse yourself into Bevagna and its ancient history. To top the day off you will visit Montefalco, which is a medieval town surrounded by a wall and that has breathtaking views at the ready for you across the valley. All of these amazing towns that you cycle through today meant that we almost forgot to mention that today's cycle route itself is magnificent... In the evening you return to the hotel by bus transfer.
The wine of Umbria approx. 40km
Some might say that Umbria comes across in a cliche way in today's stage. You cycle through golden wheat fields that are only interrupted by lush green vineyards and silver shimmering olive groves. The route gently undulates as you head from village to village. At the well-known Chiorri vineyard there is a wine tasting session waiting for you. But not just fine wine, you will also enjoy a traditional lunch on the terrace with a beautiful view all around you. Afterwards you have only got to cycle a few kilometres to return to your hotel.
Lake Trasimeno approx. 60km
Today you pedal through olive groves and small Umbrian villages until you get to Lake Trasimeno. It will glisten in front of your eyes and will entice you in for a swim. Enjoy the extensive views of the surrounding area once again with the shining sunflower fields and the lush green vineyards. Take a break in one of the traditional Trattorias that you pass on your way and enjoy the Italian hospitality whilst drinking a good glass of Umbrian Grechetto.
