Your ideal base for exploring Tuscany by bike
Arrive by train in Follonica and discover the Tuscan Maremma through scenic cycling routes, medieval villages, unspoiled beaches, and nature while staying at Domus Socolatae Cocoa Journey
Tuscany's Maremma Coast is one of Italy's most rewarding destinations for travelers who love cycling through unspoiled landscapes, Mediterranean beaches and historic villages.
Thanks to Follonica's railway station, easily connected to Italy's major cities, you can leave your car behind and enjoy a more sustainable vacation while staying at Domus Socolatae Cocoa Journey, our boutique B&B inspired by the countries where cocoa is grown.
From here, you'll have easy access to some of Southern Tuscany's most scenic cycling routes, including Cala Violina, the Sterpaia Coastal Park, Punta Ala, Scarlino, Massa Marittima, Castiglione della Pescaia and the Gulf of Follonica.
During the three-night stay, you'll receive our complimentary digital guide, "Explore Maremma by Bike," featuring carefully selected cycling routes, panoramic viewpoints, local food stops, beaches, medieval villages and personalized recommendations designed to help you discover Tuscany at your own pace.
For your bicycle, we offer secure covered bike storage available upon request, along with optional e-bike charging and a basic maintenance kit to make every ride more enjoyable.
After each ride, unwind in our cocoa-inspired rooms, relax in the Mediterranean garden and enjoy a breakfast featuring local Tuscan specialties before setting off on your next adventure.
Because the most memorable journeys aren't measured in miles, but in the experiences collected along the way.
