My husband and I are travelling to Tuscany at the end of August. We arrive in Rome, plan to spend a night there then pick up a rental car and drive through Tuscany for ten days, before driving to Venice and flying to Istanbul.
We visited Rome and Florence last year, and we want to spend a few more days in Florence. On our way there we plan on stopping at Cervita de Bagnoregio, then at Orvietto. We want to also spend time in Sienna.
What other towns would you suggest we visit? Where do you think we could base ourselves to see more of the beautiful walled cities of Tuscany? We are interested in architecture, art, history and dramatic landscapes.
The other challenge is that I am disabled. I walk with crutches (a kilometre or so but very slowly) and I use a wheelchair (when I'm confronted with cobblestones or hills, my husband helps out). Last time we were in Florence we used the small electric buses and I walked around the centre.
Where would be a good place to stay in Sienna? It is very hilly and I understand that, like Florence there is no car access to the central city. (Hills are difficult, steps are ok.)
Can you help by suggesting some towns to visit and to stay in, and how many nights we should spend in each place?
