Hi,
nice forum you have here - excellent assistance so far.
i will be arriving in Rome for 8 days and departing from Pisa with my wife and another couple. we are all in mid 30's. we are a bit in the adventure site and like to organize our own trips by renting a car and getting around. So no particular problem with Kilometres ....
so i have made the following itinerary and really need some usefull comments:
Day 1: arrive in Rome at around 12:00 hrs am - (Collossseum - Forum - Piazza Spagna - Trevi - Piazza Navona) overnight in Rome
Day 2: Rome (Vatican City - Pantheon - Piazza di Spagna) overnight in Rome
Day 3: Rome (optional daily excursion to Amalfi coast - Sorento) overnight in Rome
Day 4: Leave Rome early am and drive through Saturnia to Montepulciano - Val d' Orcia - Pienza - Montalcino and arrive late afternoon at Chianti (either Gaiole or Radda) for overnight. I am currently in search of a nice farmhouse or traditional/romantic setting that we will stay for 2 nights.
Day 5: Castellina / Sienna / San Gimignano / (perhaps Voleterra) - and then stay again at the same place in Chianti
Day 6: check out Chianti, arrive in Florence all day long as a day trip and then head to Cinque Terre (arrive late night)
Day 7: Cinque Terre (all day)
Day 8: Cinque Terre / Pisa (tower of Pisa and dinner only)
Day 9: Fly out from Pisa
I think Florence deserves some more time but if you have some better suggestions please let me know. I think on Day 5 i will put some Florence....
do you have any suggestions as the accomodation in Chianti area ??? we can have a budget of max 140 euros per couple.
do you have any suggestions on the above itinerary - nothing is being booked yet so can easily be changed. we are looking for the hidden gems rather than the more touristic and crowded.
Cinque Terre by car will be a bit difficult however i cannot take out this lovely place.
any comments please ???
thanks a lot.
