This is probably too much info, but here goes....My oldest son will be in the Tuscany region (Florence, Arezzo, Bologna) for three weeks for a study abroad at the beginning of June 2018. The rest of my family (husband, myself, 17 year old son and 13 year old son) will be meeting him afterwards for 10 nights. We fly into Venice and spend one night. Then take a train to Santa Margherita for three nights (plan to visit Cinque Terre while there for a day). We will then head to Tuscany region. Because my oldest will have been there, we are trying to do different things. From what I've read, the crowds will be crazy in the cities (ie, Florence) so we thought we might spend the next three nights on the outskirts of Florence. I would love to avoid a car rental but get the feeling it will be very limiting. We do want to tour an olive orchard or vineyard and do a cooking class. We will then take a train from Florence to Rome for our final three nights.
Is this too much?? We are trying to balance the busy city with some relaxing time at the coast/countryside. I appreciate your thoughts!
