We are 2 couples spending 13 nights in Italy in Sept.We fly in to Pisa and plan to get train to Florence and spend 5 nights there.We fly home from Rome so aim to have 3 nights there before we go home.The middle 5 nights we would like to spend in the Tuscan countryside.We will hire a car for this part of our holiday but we would prefer to hire a small car so won't have room for suitcases.Does any one have any suggestions of where to base ourselves-maybe near a train station on Florence to Rome line but also with a car rental place nearby.2 of us could get taxi to accommodation with luggage or 2 trips if not too far.We don't really want to pay for a big car and also feel would be easier to drive around country roads with smaller car.We would also be dropping car off and getting train to Rome.Any thoughts or suggestions on areas and accommodation would be great.Thanks
