I know there are hundreds of these requests, sorry! But it's our first time to Italy and I REALLY need advice please. We will have close to 5 weeks beginning in May 2015. Flying into Rome and spending 3 nights. The idea is to pick up a car and slowly wind our way north, so we end up in Milan to fly home in the middle of June.
So far I have booked accommodation in
Rome, then we pick up our car and head to
Montefiascone (booked) for a few nights to explore, then
Assisi for 4 nights (booked) explore the area
Then the idea was to find another town and spend another 4 days to take and explore the area further north of Assisi....I was thinking
San Gimignano, but some people have said it's way TOO touristy, but I thought if we stayed in the town we'd get to see it without the day trippers. And it would be a good base to use to explore the western side of Tuscany.
Florence - 4 nights
Then Levanto in an agriturismo in order to explore the Cinque Terra.
Then.....I'm stuck.....I would like to see the lakes and the Alps but don't want to spend our whole time in the car....what about
Stresa?
I'd really appreciate others thoughts and input, ideas and recommendations.
Is it unrealistic to try to get to Venice?
Many thanks
