My husband and I will be traveling from Rome with a stop in Tuscany for 2 days and then on to the Cinque Terre. I have been to Sienna, he has not. Do you recommend Sienna again or what are other great options in the area for something different. I keep seeing a lot of people mention Montepulciano.

How many nights in Tuscany?
And do you plan to rent a car or use public transport?

I love Siena, but what about Florence? Or, a smaller town, Orvieto, which is lovely. The hill towns are great, but you would need a car to get to them. Florence and Orvieto are accessible by train. It depends on how you are traveling.

Florence. I'm in Phoenix right now (your home town), and I see that Phoenix will have the Leonardo Codice at the Phoenix Art Museum starting Jan. 24. this will be a good warm up for Florence, you have to go to this (although Leonardo did not spend a lot of time in Florence, Michelangelo did).
