Got great flights and arriving in Venice on 10/11. We were planning on driving to Dolomites (Cortina d'Amprezzo) and leaving for Tuscany (10/13).
We are interested in small, quaint villages as we make our way south. Can you recommend the best car route and what towns you recommend we stay in?
What are the must see "non-tourist" towns?
Our highlights would be:
- 2 Wine tours (prefer Brunello over Chianti)
- 1/2 day small cooking class
- 1 or 2 hikes
- olive oil tasting
- truffle hunt
- Abbey of St. Galgano
- Volterra??
-Montalcino
- Barga?
Is this doable?? LOL
We'd really appreciate any recommendations, especially places to stay B&B or hotels since we have limited time to plan. Lastly we have to get back to Venice on 10/18 for return flight. Where do you recommend we drop off car?
THANK YOU SO MUCH!
