I will in Tuscany on 3~15 Sep, flying in/out Florence. It'll be just me & my 2 year old daughter travelling. As she hated being restrained in a car seat & there will only be just us, i have decided not to rent any car but to use public transport instead.
So far I thinking of spending time in
Florence,
Pisa & a seaside town nearby, Lucca (skip?),
Siena, San Gimignano (skip?),
Val d'Orica (Montalcino, Montepulciano and Pienza, add a visit an abbey?).
And last 2/3 days in Bologna (Modena/ Parma/ Reggio Emilia /Ferrara / Ravenna?)
Then have a slow relaxing last day (15 Sep) either in Florence or Bologna before heading to airport for the evening flight home.
For Val d'Orcia region, after reading up, it seems a day tour might be too short?
In addition, I planning to include a 2N stay in an agriturismo so that my girl gets to interact & have fun with farm animals or even try horse riding. Not sure which region would fit in well into the itinerary.
I know am squeezing in a lot for 12 days....but i get to travel this many days only once a year.
Appreciate any advise anyone can give. Thanks.
