Hello, First of all, I love this forum. Well done!
My wife and I are spending 14 days in Italy in the latter half of April 2016 - current idea is 4 nights Rome, 3 Florence, 4 Siena?, and 3 Venice. It's overwhelming how many towns I'd like to visit (and stay overnight) in Tuscany and knowing to try to do so would be exhausting. I have read that Siena would make a nice base to take a day trip or two, but I also want a place to kick back and just hang out for a day or more. Maybe take a nice hike in the hills. One of my favorite times in Rome was just sitting in the Piazza della Rotonda, drinking vino and people watching.
Do you have any suggestions for a place to chill out in besides Siena? I have already day-tripped to many of these places many years ago with some Romans, but each visit was a quick in & out and I didn't retain much except photos of churches.
Thanks!
Jim
