Planning a relatively short trip to Tuscany in the fall of 2025. We've been there before but we want to go back to relax, enjoy and explore the area once again. I was thinking it would be fun to stay in 2 different home base locations, 4 night in each location. My thoughts were to fly into Florence or maybe Pisa, pick up a rental car and go from there. I was thinking that perhaps we'd stay in Corona for 4 nights or another small town or village in that area, then up to Lucca for 4 night. While in Lucca we'd spend a day in Pisa, maybe a train trip and a long day out to the Cinque Terre, of course explore Lucca maybe Volterra and perhaps San Gimiginano (which we love but heard it's gotten very busy with tourists) I heard that it's Italy's Jubilee and that the country will be overrun by tourists, thoughts on that ? Any thoughts or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
It's been suggested that the towns of Pienza, Montepalciano or Montaicino may be good home bases,
