Ciao,
The forum does helps us a lot on my planning of our (4 of us) Italy trip in the coming 13 Oct to 25 Oct, it's gonna be a tight schedule we tried to fit in as much as we can as 2 of us has never been to Italy.
13, 14 Oct - Venice
15 Oct Milan
16 Oct Cinque Terre
17, 18 Oct- Pisa + Florence
18 Oct ~arriving Greve from Florence by 3pm, staying in the Hotel/ B&B in Greve
19 Oct - Greve Chianti , Panzano, Castellina, Radda
20 Oct- Palio in Siena, Palazzo Pubblico and a winery (Brunello or Montepulciano)
21 Oct - Valdoria + Bagnoregio
22-25 Oct - Rome
I've read a lot of previous post and came up with the above itinerary, as i browse on the internet, there are just overwhelm information came in my mind, therefore hoping to get some of your advice.
-We planned to rent a van from Venice all the way to Rome, but realized that the are many ZTL in the main tourist cities, with my rough itinerary above, when do u suggest us to start renting the van?
- As we arriving Greve at 3ish on the 18th, i was planning to rent a B&B/ hotel/ apartment in the city area of Greve, but most web site provide accommodation in Greve in chianti only, so should still stay in the chianti even it's quite late?
- I cannot make up my mind for the accommodation on 19 Oct to 21 Oct, although we will have a car with us, but 1st, i'm not sure if it's the best choice to switch hotel/farmhouse everynight, 2nd, which area should we stay if we are not moving everynight ? I saw some magnificent, breathtaking sunset images of those chianti which i thought maybe we should be settling our nights in those places.
- We would definitely do some wine tasting on our way and we want to do a wine tour as well maybe with cooking class also, but is there a reference cost on the wine tour and cooking class?
