Good afternoon,
We are heading to Italy in June of this year, planning a 4 week stay. Starting in Rome, we want to get to the Tuscan region, Cinque Terre, Venice and finish in the Lake Como region, meeting my sister and brother-in-law there for a few days. I have Rome reservations already as well as Como. In the Tuscan region, I am looking at either Radda in Chianti or Monteriggioni area. We will have a rental car (most likely from Florence). Our plan is to take the train from Rome to Florence, rent the car in Florence to see Tuscan areas on our own. What area do you think would be better? I was hoping for a week in the Tuscan region. Then, should we return rental car and take train to Cinque Terre or drive ourselves? Also, what is the city of Venice current condition for the canals? I have heard they have been dry for the past weeks. Hoping they are getting better and will be good for the beginning of July.
Thanks
Kathy
