Car rental agencies that have been recommended by many Fodorites.
Italy requires that you take the CDW.

Three come to mind:
1. The S-146 corridor between Montepulciano and San Quirico and on to Montalcino. However, include diversions from Pienza to Montisi to the north and south to the area around Monticchiello--take your camera.
2. The Le Crete area south of Asciano and down to the abbey at Oliveto Maggiore.
3. The area between Volterra and San Gimignano along S-68 and north of there
I am sure others have their favorites.

I LOVE this post! Just to add my 2 cents on BLISTERS post, just put deodrant on your feet, as with new shoes and long walks..no moisture - no blisters. I promise, it works wonders!!! (Sorry can't help you with 'painful, sore feet'!)

Great thread. Thanks all.
Spent 10 days in Rome and Siena last year. Going back to Rome and then to Bellagio in May for 17 days and will be much better prepared because of these posts. Any suggestions on "must see" in 2-day drive between Rome and Bellagio or around the lakes, with the benefit of a car?
