Hi Lourdes,
I have read your blog and am getting loads of valuable information.
My husband and I will be travelling to Milan with our daughter in February for 2 weeks. We are planning on staying in Milan for our first 2 days of arrival.
Our plan is to visit Florence, the Tuscan countryside, indulge in wine tasting and head to Rome, then return back to Milan the evening before we head back home.
I have two thoughts: a) Make Florence our base for 6 nights - first 3 days see as much as we can in Florence, then take train/bus or hire a car and see the Tuscan countryside and wine tasting. We would like to see as much as we can in the country, enjoy the wines and food ( Italian Food is one of our favourite cuisine and love eating local).
b). Stay 3 nights in Florence and then hire a car and head to the countryside and do things at our leisure and stay 3 nights in the area. We'll then head to Rome. We do not want to bring the hire car to Rome.
My questions: What are your thoughts on the two options? Can you pass on suggestions, can you suggest better itinerary? Recommendations of places to stay in Florence and the countryside would be greatly appreciated.
Thank You!
