italty travel october 2016

I am planning my second self guided trip to Italy and want readers thoughts. We will fly from Newark to Milan and then take a train to Monterosso for three nights. We will the train to Florence for five nights and take day tours or trip from there. ( we have been to Sienna and Lucca and don't want Pisa) We are considering a day trip to Parma. We will then train from Florence to Venice for two nights returning to Milan for the following days return flight home.

Any recommendations about the plan or good b&bs in Monterosso or Florence is welcome.

Sounds good. How long do you have? Do you have a specific question?

With five nights in Florence, you might want to consider a holiday apartment. It will give more living space and the cost is on par with mid-grade hotels. You also (normally) get a kitchen and cloths washer.

I found and booked mine via TripAdvisor. I'll upload a trip report when I return this October.
