The La Corsa Experience
UNFORGETTABLE MEMORIES START HERE.
We started with a private villa, nestled in the picturesque hills of the Tuscan countryside. Then, we added some of the best cycling roads on earth, and a selection of world-class equipment. Once we topped that all off with unrivalled service from a team of passionate, experienced cyclists, LA CORSA was born.
Italy is one of the most incredible places in the world to ride a bike, and we know it like the backs of our hands because we’ve lived here and trained on these roads. Our routes combine some famous stretches and some hidden gems to offer you the best riding experience, from narrow, technical gravel roads to wide-open, panoramic countryside. And every turn of the pedal will be accompanied by our dedicated team of guides and mechanics, who cannot wait to share their local knowledge with you.
We started LA CORSA because we saw a gap in the market for affordable cycling vacations that didn’t skimp on the important stuff. To us, that means fast, reliable equipment, maintained by a team of experts. It also means a genuine connection to the area and the people who live there. We will introduce you to the real Italy, and all of the wonderful culture and cuisine that it has to offer.
What's
THE BIKE
We’re extremely proud of our partnership with MODA. All guests are expertly fit to a MODA Finale with perfect-tuned Shimano Ultegra disc groupsets and Carbon wheels. Just supply us with your measurements and your bike will be ready on arrival.
ACCOMODATION
Our home is an authentic Tuscan villa in a tiny hamlet in the heart of Chianti, just outside the town of San Donato in Poggio.
The spacious complex is comprised of luxurious self-contained apartments with kitchenettes and en suite bathrooms for each guest. Set around a relaxing pool, each suite offers stunning vistas over the entire valley. Typical of the area, the walls are thick stone, ensuring a quiet night’s rest.
When we’re not in Tuscany, we use a carefully researched selection of great hotels that provide plenty of comfort, charm, and local character.
FOOD
LA CORSA provide every meal, every day. And of course great local wines for you to enjoy in the evening. We’ve gone to extraordinary lengths to sample every delicacy Tuscany offers (Excruciating work, we know.)
Tuscan cuisine is expansive, and caters to all diets. For cavemen, the famed Bistecca Fiorentina is a must. For the gluten-insensitive, classic pizzerias and the finest pasta dishes abound! And no LA CORSA trip would be complete without our famous classic Tuscan barbecue, a proud tradition that we enjoy after our longest ride.
SWIMMING POOL
Few moments are as satisfying as enjoying a cold drink by the pool following your post ride massage, while watching the sun set over the Tuscan hills.
KIT
You’ll receive a race-cut jersey and bib shorts, socks, and water bottles, all neatly presented in a custom kit bag that’s printed with your name and national flag.
Our clothing partner is run by a family of passionate cyclists in northern Italy who have more than three decades experience producing innovative cycling apparel. We think you’ll be impressed both by the quality and by the performance of their kits.
RECOVERY
The tour is about riding but we know you also want to soak up the sunshine. If you need a day off, we won’t judge you. You’re welcome to relax by the pool, do some yoga, or use our foam rollers to ease your legs for the upcoming rides. On certain trips, an expert masseuse is also available.
