Hello All!
I was looking for a little help with planning out the last portion of our trip. We're on a 2 week excursion through Italy, Switzerland, Germany, Austria and back to Italy. Lots of places, I know. We've been in the major areas of Italy (Rome, Florence, Venice Cinque Terre) before but are just looking to dabble in each of the places to get a feel for what they're like and really hit the high points (i.e Oktoberfest; Lake Como; Old Towne district in Zurich; Innsbruck, Austria; Tuscany and fly out of Milan).
I'll be with the group for 2 full days coming from Austria heading to Tuscany. Most of us have done the Florence site seeing in the past however, this time we would like to focus more on the Chianti wine regions and anywhere else recommended. I'm the designated driver for the trip and enjoy partaking in the socializing when we're out and about. Areas that allow us access to go out to get food would be preferred but not a requirement. This way I don't have to worry about consumption and driving everyone around. Side notes to add about our intentions and group we're traveling with: We're pretty laid back group and will probably be looking to relax by this time of the trip. We are willing to possibly cook one or both of the nights if we can get some good recipes and/or ingredients. We're looking to see some nice scenery, drink some good wine, enjoy good company and maybe meet some good people.
After the 2 days are done, I drop off 2 of the guests in Florence and we have another 2 more days with 3 of us remaining. The general consensus is to spend the last 2 days (before we head to Milan for the final night) near the water. I saw some other posts recommending the Island of Elba. I was also thinking La Spezia would be nice. I'm open to suggestions if anyone has any.
We'd like to probably stay in a Villa or farmhouse that we could rent for 2 days at each stop. Any help with recommendations of a home base and things to do on the last 4 days of the trip would be very much appreciated! We've been using Homeaway and Airbnb for booking most of our visits on the trip. Are there any other good sites for groups of people to stay for just 2 days?
Thanks again for the help and look forward to hearing back!
