I will be in Florence in January and would like to rent a car for one day to drive thru the countryside. (I read about the problems of driving within Florence, so I know to pick up the car rental from the airport.) I've heard that some areas in Tuscana have steep, windy roads that are not easy to drive. Yet I've read that there are areas in Tuscana that are flat and boring, with almost nothing to see.
So my question is, where should I drive to? I thought of going to Bologna, Siena, Pisa, or Venice, but I'm open to other suggestions. My idea is to rent a car in the morning in Florence, and return it in the late afternoon in one of those cities. I can then take a bus or train back to Florence at night.
Please give me suggestions for where to drive to. I really don't like having to handle too many winding roads, yet I don't want the trip to be boring. My wife and daughter very much want to see the beautiful countryside, and I don't want to disappoint them.
Thank you very much.
