Planning a trip for summer of 2025 and wondering if this itinerary is feasible. Please advise if you see any potential issues?
- Fly into Florence and stay 2-3 nights
- Train to Arezzo, stay 1 night here or move on
- Train to Cortona, stay 2-3 nights
- Possible day/night in Assisi
- Train to Orvieto, stay 2 nights
- Rent car and drive to agriturismo in Tuscany and stay a week - day trips to the towns nearby that we wish to see.
- We'd like to see Rocca del Leone, not sure if that's doable as a day trip or if we should plan to stay a night near there?
- Drive to Volterra, stay 1 night?
- Drive to Lucca, stay 2-3 nights (there is a class we want to take here).
- Drive or train back to florence for 1-2 nights Fly home.
Trying to limit the length of time we need car to cut down on the expense if possible, as stick shift is not for us, and my daughter will not yet be twenty so I'm aware that'll be extra also. Packing light, a backpack each and maybe a roller bag as we'll be gone nearly a month so need to bring our meds. Stays will be a mix of agriturismo, monasteries and apartments most likely. Our plan is to do only what interests us most in florence and then head for the hills for the rest of our time to enjoy cooking and eating our way through the countryside. Not into tourist trap stuff if we can avoid it.
