Hi Everyone,
Absolutely love the site and there is so much fantastic information shared here. I'm looking for someone to help me out with my own query if possible.
We'll be honeymooning in Italy for just over 2 weeks in late July / early August 2015.
Our current plan is to divide the trip into 3 parts:
1) Milan and Lake Como
2) Tuscany and Florence
3) Amalfi Coast
In Tuscany we'd love to be based in the countryside and hire a car to explore including 1 day/night in Florence before moving down to the Amalfi Coast.
Here are a few questions we have and would love some advice:
1) Are we right in thinking it will be best to get the train from Milan to Florence?
2) When would we be best spending a day looking around Florence? On the day we arrive? Making a special day trip? Or on the day we leave?
3) We'll have 5 days in Tuscany and plan on spending 1 of these days in Florence, is that ok? Or are we wasting our time trying to see the main bits of Florence in a day?
4) What else should we include in a "best of Tuscany" itinerary?
5) Where would be best to hire a car?
What would be the best way to get down to the Amalfi Coast? Train to Naples?
Many thanks in advance for all of your help!
