Golferenzo is a village well worth the climb: small, well-kept, and surrounded by the hills of the Tidone Valley and the Alta Val Versa. Getting there by bike means pedaling through vineyards, along scenic roads, and with views that will make all your efforts worthwhile. If you enjoy cycling through nature and discovering authentic villages, make a note of this: it's a tour worth doing at least once.
