Hi everyone,
Great forum with a lot of useful information! My wife and I are attending a wedding near Milan (flying in from London) and wanted to make a holiday out of our trip! We're planning on coming early July. We were hoping we could take a train from Milan to Florence (I hear this is the best way of getting there) on the 7th of July evening (Sunday). We thought we would stay the night in Florence, and then rent a car and drive out of Florence to explore Tuscany. We plan on coming back to Florence on Thursday so we would have Monday to Wednesday to explore. We will be in Florence from Thursday to Saturday evening - I've heard this should be enough time?
We had a couple of questions on how to make the most of our trip! We've done a bit of research and Chianti, Siena, and Montepulciano all look great!
a) Where should we rent a car from?
b) Where should we go when we leave Florence? We ideally don't want to change hotels during our three day trip but we could if it was worth seeing and exploring different areas.
c) We'd like to stay somewhere nice in Tuscany but not too expensive (60-150).
We both enjoy sight seeing as well as wine tasting. We also enjoy driving through scenic areas/routes.
Any other information/advice would be great!
Thanks a lot in advance!
