I’m planning a 17 day surprise trip for my wife’s 30th to Italy in late Oct through to mid Nov. We both travelled through Italy in May 2009 on a for 2 week bus tour, visiting Rome, Pisa, Florence, San Gimignano, Milan, Stresa, Verona, Venice, Assisi, Sorrento and the Amalfi Coast.
This time around I would like to see Italy self guided, spending approximately a week in Tuscany to slowly explore some of its highlights, following the initial 2- 3 days in Rome. I would also like to spend 3 – 4 days in the Cinque Terre and possibly finish off in Venice with a surprise visit from a family member in Croatia. I would like to arrange car rental once we leave Rome and return it somewhere before the Cinque Terre.
The following is an itinerary that I have put together:
Rome 3 nights
Cortona 4 nights
Chianti 3 nights (Radda in Chianti)
Vernazza 3 nights
Portafino 2 nights
Venice 2 nights
I welcome feedback or suggestions for my trip itinerary.
Best Regards
