Hello
We are in Tuscany for 7 nights from 22nd sept- We would love to include following in our trip:

1) Florence
2)Pisa
3)Lucca
4)Volterra
5)Montepulciano
6)Chianti
7)Val- d-orcia
8)Pienza

Where should we make our base- we were thinking 3 days in Volterra and 3 days in Pienza before heading ahead to Sorrento.

We are not planing to Hire car.

thanks
 
Where to base yourself

Buongiorno,

If you are not planning on having a car then I would suggest that you look for places that are hubs for public transport - for example instead of Volterra use Florence and instead of Pienza use Siena.

Florence:

on this list look at especially Casa dei Tintori, Antiche Dimure Fiorentine, La Tinaia and La Paggeria

Around Siena you might want to look at:

http://www.discovertuscany.com/siena/accommodation/hotel-le-fontanelle.html

my colleague has stayed here, with positive reviews:

not really in Siena - but an interesting thought if you are travelling with no car:

Both will allow you to visit easily (with min. travel time on the trains and buses) all the cities you are looking at.

Look at these two articles for info on day trips:

Buon Viaggio,
