We will be spending a few days (maybe 3) once we land at airport in Florence to visit with elderly relatives who live in Quarrata. We do not want to stay with them as they are not so well. We will see them daily and then leave to go back to our accommodations somewhere else.
My questions:
1.What is best large town to stay in near Quarrata so we can see local sights on foot and do things on our own? ? Is City of Pistoia the best large city near Quarrata or is there another town with historical sights to visit, cafes, etc?
2. What is the best train station in that immediate area that could get us to Orvieto after our visit in Quarrata?
3. Any recommendations on how to get from Florence airport to wherever we end up staying near Quarrata?
