Hi there
Was wondering if someone could assist. My wife and I are heading to Italy for 10 days for 2 reasons, 1 a wedding in Lucca and 2 a romantic holiday and the route plan looks somewhat like this:
Rome: July 24-26 (accommodation booked) train to Lucca
Lucca: July 26-29 (wedding on 26 July) booking a car, train to next destination
Cinque Terre: July 29-31
Open to suggestion for 1 night in a city on the way to Venice by train for 31 July
Venice: August 1-2
So my questions are as follows:
Is Lucca the best home base in Tuscany? We would love to visit Pisa and some nice vineyards in the region. Should we stay the 3 nights or split it into other towns baring in mind the next destination?
My wife really wants to visit the hot springs in Tuscany but due to the wedding on the 26th we would have to double back south as our Rome accommodation is non refundable. Any suggestions to squeeze this in?
Is it better to stay in a neighboring town to Cinque Terre? Which town is ideal based on the plan above?
Any suggestions for a night stay on the way up to Venice after the Cinque Terre trip?
So overwhelming to fit it all in. Your help would be great guys.
