Hello,
I am hoping for a little help with our trip plan please.
My mother and I are having a hard time deciding on day trips from our B&B in Prato since we have to return every day. (25 min drive from Florence but we will have a rental car for the whole time.)
We have already booked our B&B and arrive at 4:30 pm on Monday, September 21, 2015 and leave the morning of Friday, September 25, 2015. Then we are spending one day/one night in Florence (as my mom has been here already so that's all we wanted/needed) then we are off to the Amalfi Coast by train September 26, 2015.
So that leaves us with 3 whole days to explore Tuscany:
We are very interested in having one day to take a scenic drive to the chianti region and visiting wineries and having lunch and/or dinner with a view. Perhaps stopping in the little towns? Castellina? Greve? seem popular.
Would this take a whole day? or can/should we see other places as well? or save for another day trip?
ex. San Gimignano, Siena.
Fiesole and Pistoia are close to us and look nice. Are they worth visiting?
We like the Southern part of Tuscany (probably should have booked our B&B closer haha) but may be too long of a day to do from where we are staying?
Will probably skip Pisa and Lucca area.
As you can see I am confused. Open to suggestions.
Thanks again for your help.
