My wife and I are planning to be in Tuscany for 7 days starting October 1. We will be coming from Rome and will be departing to Venice from Tuscany. Our thought is to take the train from Rome to Florence and spend two nights in Florence, then rent a car and find a relaxing home base in Tuscany for 5 nights that we can use to explore the Tuscany area, including Siena. Would appreciate any advice on improving the proposed agenda, where to locate the home base in Tuscany, and recommendations on upscale accomadations for Florence and the home base in Tuscany. In particular, a hotel advertised on this web site, Villa il Poggiale, looks interesting?
Many thanks for any advice.
