Overall driving from Verona, South was wonderful. The road signs are in English as well as Italian so it made traveling quite easy. I used Montecatini Terme as a central bases then took day trips from there.
I must say it was a very wise decision and the Hotel Da Vinci was fine.
I rented a car in Verona but had to switch it because on of the headlights was out. No problem! Then I decided to go to Florence and stop at Hertz at the airport to pick up a GPS...good move!
From there I traveled down into Florence but little did I know and no one told me at the rental company to SAY OUT OF THE CENTER OF TOWN!!! There are camera's that take a picture of the car (not the driver) and you will receive a ticket in the mail 6-12 months later. This is what happened to me. So I am warning you....BEWARE!!! Park outside the city in Piazza de Michelangelo and take the bus into the city. Parking is free up there.
Happy Travels!
