Hi
I've discovered this website which seems to answer a lot of my questions that I have had recently whilst trying to plan our honeymoon, but I could do a few more pointers if possible!
We are due to get married in Lake Como Sep 2015, the plan is to get the train from Como down to Florence. Whilst I would like to see Florence, I am actually keen on staying some place with lovely scenery and where we can sample excellent authentic Italian food and wine, so I thought Chianti might be a good idea since I would also like to visit Siena if possible and other areas we can fit in, and also do a vineyard tour.
We have 3 nights (Wed-Sat) and then we plan to fly down to Sicily for our last week via Florence airport.
I seen excellent reviews for a B&B called Palazzo Malaspina but unfortunately the owner confirmed she is fully booked during our dates! :-( Can you possibly recommend any other places?
I assume the best option is to pick up a car from the train station when we arrive and drive down to Chianti straight away, and perhaps on the last day (Sat) we can explore Florence before we get our flight or should we stay 1 night in Florence ? .... does the train station have an area where you can put your luggage and collect later?
Thank you for your help - I am open to ideas but hopefully I can create a great honeymoon!
Thanks
Nicola
