Hi everyone!
On August 16th (the day after Ferragosto), I’ll be driving from San Casciano in Val di Pesa (Tuscany) to my hotel in Rome City Centre. My family is interested in visiting San Gimignano, Siena, and possibly Montepulciano—if it makes sense geographically.
We’d love to make the most of the drive and are looking for any other beautiful towns or scenic spots you’d recommend along the way. We're especially interested in vineyard views and charming countryside experiences.
I was thinking of taking the SR 222 (Chiantigiana Road) and then continuing on the SS 2. Would this be a good and scenic route for that purpose? Also, do you know if Autogrills or other rest stops along the way will be open on that date?
Any tips or recommendations would be greatly appreciated—thanks so much!
