Hi, my husband and I are going to be in Tuscany for 5 days this September. We are planning to spend 2 nights in Florence and then hire a car and self drive to other tuscan towns. After reading a few posts on the net I got a general sense that driving around in southern Siena (Pienza, montepulciano, monticiano..) is easy going, but I would like to know about the drive from Florence to Chianti and Chianti to Siena. Could we get some advice on this keeping in mind that we are not used to left hand driving. Are the roads too busy?
Considering we have only 3 days, we thought the best way to see the country side would be to drive down. Start from florence, stay the night in Chianti. Next day look around San Gimignano & Montgomery and reach Seina and stay the night there. Third day we head to Pienza, montepulciano, monticiano.. and stay the night at Montepulcino.
Can we return the car in Siena? do car companies offer such options?
It would be very helpful to get some advice on this. Been struggling with this part of our travel.
