Hello all,
My husband and I are so excited to be traveling in Tuscany for two weeks next Spring! I have been reading the forums and gathering info but would love some itinerary advice. We are really looking forward to having a luxurious and leisurely trip without having to rush around or move between locations too frequently. I am thinking that we would like to base ourselves in one or two different areas to explore the Tuscan countryside. We love the idea of an Agriturismo stay and are big foodies. We definitely want to explore the Chianti Region, Sienna, and then possibly the Montepulciano/Val D'Orcia area. I love the idea of staying in a villa/agriturismo in Chianti and then staying in Sienna, (I've been told that it is incredible to stay right on the main square) but wonder if the areas are too close together for that to make sense. After that, we are interested in touring the Parma/Bologna/Modena area and also possibly heading to Alba to eat at the famous 3 star restaurant, Piazza Duomo.
Here is our time-line:
4/16 - traveling to Rome
4/17 - arrive in Rome - take the fast train to Florence
4/18, 4/19 - Florence (possibly 4/20 as well which is Easter).
4-20/21 to May 8th...open to possibilities!
Grazie Mile!
