I'm not a fan of one night stays but considering what we want to see in Tuscany with the time we have, I'm wondering if it may be worth it in this case. I have a plan A and a plan B, and would appreciate some feedback.
After a series of 3-4 night stays in Venice, Florence and the CT, we'll be getting the train from La Spezia to Pisa where we'll pick up a rental car. We'll see the biggies in Pisa, then drive to Volterra, take a city tour and sleep there. Next day we'll stop in San Gimignano then drive to an agriturismo between Siena and Montalcino or between Montalcino and Pienza.
Plan A: Spend 4 nights in the agriturismo. During that time we'd spend a day in Siena, a day doing Rick's "Heart of Tuscany" drive, and a long day travelling to/from and seeing Assisi.
Plan B: Spend 3 nights in the agriturismo, and the fourth night in Assisi. I'm concerned that trying to do Assisi in one day (in July) with travel time would be too much.
Regardless of which option we choose, at the end of the Tuscany leg, we'll have one night in Orvieto (where we'll drop off the car) before continuing to Sorrento for 3 nights.
Any advice is much appreciated!
