Hi:
This is a great site, with very informative forums for discussion!
My partner and I are traveling to Italy in September, and are planning to stay in Tuscany September 8-14. We have already visited Florence on a previous trip, so we would like to visit other areas of Tuscany. We plan to travel using trains rather than by car, as train travel appears to be efficient throughout the region.
My question is this: Should we stay in one centralized location for all six nights, or change hotels mid-way? We considered staying three nights in Lucca and three nights in Siena so we could see two distinct areas of the region. We would like to see Viareggio, Pisa, the area around Garfagnana, and possibly even La Spezia (all near Lucca), and San Gimignano and Monteriggioni (near Siena). We're certainly open to other cities and towns as well. Is there a good central city or town to call home for the entire time? We like staying at least three nights in a hotel so we're not constantly packing and unpacking.
Any advice you all could provide would be fantastic!
Thanks so much in advance,
Ric
