Decisions, decisions. We are staying 3 nights in Manarola, CT. Then want to rent a car and see some hill towns. On a previous trip we stayed in Chianti and saw Siena. Loved both! This time we have 4 nights b4 flying out of Rome. Any advice on where to p/u & drop a rental car to see San Gim, Montepulciano or Orvieto? Trying to decide btw hanging out in one central town and daytripping OR staying in north hill town and then Orvieto. I understand that by train Oriveto is only 75 minutes. I found some beautiful agrturismos with pools - since we are going in July we will be looking forward to siesta time poolside. Thanks for any suggestion.

Some people here have reported the following worked okay for them: pick up in Siena, drop off in Orvieto, then train to Rome. Not the only way to do it, of course.

Kent, thanks. Do you suggest making car rental plans before going? If so do you have a preferred rental co? Thanks, Melinda
