Hello,
We will spend 2 weeks in Italy May 18-30 ( out first trip to Italy). The tickets are already purchased: ariving in Venice on May 18th and departing from Rome on May 30th.
I would greatly appreciate an advice on how to structure these two weeks: what cities and in what hotels to stay. I was thinking to stay ~3 days in Venice, than rent a car (only if it is benefitial)to travel in Toscany, and conclude the trip in Rome ( 3-4 days in Rome).
Besides arriving in Venice and departing from Rome everything else is on the table. We want this trip to be in a relatively moderate leisurely pace.
We are in our 40th, will travel without kids. As far as hotels all we need is quiet nights, basic amenities, and proximity to the sightseeing places( 3 star hotels are fine). Our main interests are architechture, people, food, and culture in general. We like art but do not want to spend too much time in the Italian art musiums during this trip. I have read about agroturizmo but do not really know if it is a good idea for Toscany base.
Any advice will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Dan
