Hello! My husband and I will be in Tuscany in early December and I am looking for advice on a few points. I will be staying in Italy for work reasons after our vacation
-Would it be prudent to rent a car during this time of year given potential winter road conditions? And we have never driven in Italy so I have some reservations about adapting to driving culture and being able to find our destinations
-If car isn’t recommended we are very comfortable taking the train as we have done so in the past
-Our interests: food/wine, culture, scenery
-Would love to visit: Holiday markets, Siena, Montelpuciano, Chianti, hot springs. (We have already visited Lucca and Pisa)
-I would need to be able to get to Tolentino at the end of the vacation portion of the trip or meet my colleagues at Rome airport.
Any advice is welcome. I am a little anxious on planning myself mostly because of considerations needed for winter travel. Most guides are centered around the fair weathered vacation periods.
Thank you!
