Hello, I am going to be traveling to Italy at the end of September. My travel will have me arriving in Rome. Upon arrival in Rome, I intend to take a train to Florence.
I plan to spend 4 days between Florence and Tuscany before going back to Rome. I would like to visit Siena, Giminiano and Volterra. I would like to see Pisa and Cinque Terre, but don't think I will have enough time.
My questions are:
1. What is the best way to travel between Florence and Tuscany? Bus, car?
My initial thought is to rent a car for convenience, time and to get to stop and see/photograph different places along the way. But, if a car is too much trouble around Tuscany then I will reconsider.
2. Do I drive from Florence to Tuscany, to Rome and return the car in Rome? Or, should I return to Florence, return the car there and take the train to Rome?
3. I will be spending 3, maybe 4 nights between Florence and Tuscany. Are there recommendations on places to stay? I will be traveling alone so the accommodations can be very simple. I know there are recommendations posted. I will look at them. But, if anyone feels compelled to offer them in this message, I would very much appreciate it.
Thank you.
