florence and tuscany
Hello all!
I am making my first trip to italy in may with another female friend of mine. Looking for recommendations as far as itineraires go. We would both love to see art in florence as well as see whatever the best sights are in tuscany. So many of the people i know who have traveled to italy say you must see tuscany! Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
thanks in advance!

Do follow Bob the Navigator's advice. We bought the Top Ten Tuscany book and managed to tick off almost everything in it last October and November.
We also used the Michelin Green Guide for Tuscany for a little more information.
Try to follow the wine route (S222) in the Chianti section of Tuscany. It is wild and wonderful . . . what most people picture in their minds when Tuscany is mentioned. Do ask the hotel people where you stay. They know the area and usually have excellent suggestions for those little out of the way places you won't find in tourist books.
Have a great time.

I have a 20+ page Italy intinerary that I've e-mailed to more than 250 people on this board & the aol board. There is a heavy dose of Tuscany included. E-mail me at [email protected] if you want a free copy.

Ti consiglio fi visitare Pienza e poi prendere la strada per l'abbazia di Sant'Anna in Camprena e poi Castelmuzio e Petroio sono due piccoli gioielli medievali . Ovviamente anche la zona fi Montalcino è molto bella. Per l'Amiata devi vedere Il Monte Labro con la torre dei giurisdavidici e la comunità tibetana e Arcidosso e Montegiovi. Divertiti
