your days in montespertoli are active ones... you woke up in the morning, grab one of the bicycle and ready for a "fun" ride...
it took you some moments to really get use to sliding the bicycle down the slope. you're too acquainted to the lowland and no longer use to the hilly landscape, let alone riding on a unpaved road with 30% incline and a pond along the route. nevertheless, after the initial cold feet, you slide it down with cold sweat each time...
he has no issue with going down the slope, it's just some 300m away from the main reception building and the restaurant where the breakfast is served. after the sliding down, you have to peddle extra hard to climb the similar incline up the slope. most mornings, your heart was pounding and you're panting, sweating before you park your bike and have your breakfast.
on the return journey, this is the slope that you cannot overcome during the entire duration, the road is just too bumpy and you could at most cycled to 3/4 to the top, the last 1/4 you have to push your bicycle up....
you're not complaining, in fact the 300m distance adds some elements of adventure and sweats to the farm stay experience...
