SPORT   TENNIS At 5 minutes driving from Belpoggio, in the small village of Montalto, you can play tennis. The tennis court is surrounded by olive trees and cypresses. For bookings just ask at the Reception.    HORSE BACK RIDING For lessons or riding tours in the Chianti region, we highly recommend “Rendola Riding Club”, easily reachable from Villa Belpoggio. Jenny Bawtree, started her riding center in 1969; there are eighteen leek and fit horses, all trained in the English style of riding. The novice riders go for short, leisurely rides, the experienced ones do more trotting and cantering following trails through vineyards, olive groves and woodland.    MOUNTAIN BIKE  With the help of certified guides we organize single day mountain bike excursions and tailored tours following scenic itineraries. The average distance of a typical cycling tour is from 20 to 40 miles, (but it can be shortened or increased on request). Easy and a little bit more difficult ring shaped itineraries start from Belpoggio and go through the impressive area of the “balze”, a protected natural area with amazing pinnacles and crests, vineyards, olive groves and picturesque villages.   TREKKING  Without any doubt walking slowly is the best way to appreciate the beauty of Tuscan landscape. All around Villa Belpoggio there are a lot of ancient trails and tracks, used by the people of the villages and farmers to gain access to each other. Following these paths, in any season of the year you will discover hidden treasures: natural protected areas, old times crafts, archaeological sites, wines and vineyards, secluded villages in the mountains, abbeys and ancient pilgrims ’roads. We can organize single day or half a day excursions drawing a tailored itinerary to meet your specific interests and wishes. An environmental guide all along the walk will tell about local history, traditions and peculiarities of our region and will infect everyone with his deep passion for Tuscany.   GOLF  The “Golf Club Ugolino” is at 50 minutes driving along panoramic roads of Chianti region.
