Hello,
I fly into Pisa on May 9th arriving noontime and fly back out on Thursday May 13th early morning. That gives me 3 1/2 days in Tuscany. I am planning on renting a car and would like to make my way down to visit Greve, Sienna, San Gimignano, Montepulciano, Montalcino, Pienza and anywhere else in the region worth visiting.
I'll be travelling alone and wish to find a "base" to stay Sunday-Tuesday night. Because I have an early flight out Thursday morning, I plan on staying in Pisa Weds night.
What I am looking for are itinerary suggestions and where to stay in order to see all of these towns and enjoy some scenic drives and local eateries and wine tasting along the way. Would it be feasible to see all these towns while staying at one location? If so, what daily schedule do you recommend and what town/area would be best for accommodations if travelling by car? Many have suggested I stay at an Agriturismo. That sounds exciting but since I am travelling alone, I don't want to be far from restaurants, nightlife etc. My budget is around $150 US a night for accommodations
I speak a bit of Italian and have been studying the past year but I am not fluent
Thanks for any tips/suggestions you can offer. Richard
