We plan to travel to Tuscany from Florence (we plan to travel visit Pisa and Lucca during our Florence stay) in early October. We will then be heading to Cinque Terre. Our goal was to use buses/trains for all transportation except for the days we spend in Tuscany. We are now at a loss as to how to do that. Our thinking was to take a bus to a convenient town, rent the car, stay locally then return the car to the original location and bus/train to Cinque Terre. My question...if we stick with this idea, what town would be easily accessible by bus, will also have a car rental agency, and afford us a wonderful location for visiting this beautiful area. We would like to stay in an agriturismo accommodation. Can you provide any suggestions to this itinerary - towns to get the car and places to stay? Or even, whether or not this is a good idea.
Thanks so much for any help you can provide.
