We'll be in Florence for 3 nights, then staying in a farmhouse outside of Siena for 3 nights including driving to Montepulciano and seeing the Heart of Tuscany drive. Should we rent a car in Florence or take the bus to Siena and rent it there?
Our time is tight so it looks like this:
See Florence (sleep 3 nights in Florence)
Drive/bus to Siena for part of day and checking in farmhouse (sleep farmhouse)
Drive to Siena for full day (sleep farmhouse)
Drive Tuscany and visit Montepulciano (sleep farmhouse)
Drive Heart of Tuscany, drive to San Gimignano (sleep SG)
Drive to Volterra then Florence, return car in Florence
I hate that we only have a day and a half in Siena. If we rent in Florence do you recommend getting it from the airport to avoid the ZTL? Any other thoughts are welcome. TIA!
