I am planning a trip to Tuscany next June with my husband. We are Australian so driving in Europe is a challenge but we are happy to do it in the countryside. I have a bit of time to explore but my husband and I don't want to move around too much by changing accommodation. I was looking at Palazzo Malaspina for about 5 nights to do Florence etc and other towns nearby and then moving to Podere Cunina to do the area south of Sienna . What would be the best way to break this up? 5 nights at each? Or are they too close to each other? Would we have enough variety to see different things based in both places. I like the idea of staying in a small village and also an agriturismo experience with a pool. We would be coming from Cinque Terre to Palazzo Malaspina after picking up a rented car in Florence. we would keep the car for the next place, drop it back somewhere and then catch a train to Rome, have a few nights there before flying out. We have done Rome several times so our focus this time is Tuscany. I have several weeks to spend In Tuscany in June as am on long service leave. I would appreciate any advice as to whether these are two good options to split the Chianti region with the Val D'Orica as I want to visit towns like Pienza, Multipulciano and the place where they filmed The English Patient - where is that?
