Hello Travel friends:
I have always found travelers on this site to be exceptionally helpful and generous with sharing their experiences and wisdom. Thank you!
I have a significant birthday approaching and I am taking each of my daughters on a special trip. I recently returned from a trip to Egypt ( 7 nights on the Nile and 7 nights in Cairo) with one daughter and it was fabulous. Now, I am planning a trip with my youngest daughter who lives in Mexico City and has traveled extensively, She will be leaving her husband in charge of their two school age kids so we are limited on time. But, she has never been to Italy.
She says she has plenty of big city living in Mexico City so she wants to do the countryside more than big cities, but there are some things in Italy that cannot be missed. This will be my third trip to Italy.;

Here is what I have hashed out and packed in. Please do comment:
Day 1 Travel"
Dat 2: meet late afternoon in Venice
Day 3: begin with a small group tour of the city..rest of the day free:
Day 4: boat tour to Murano with an afternoon departure by train to Florence
Day 5:Walking tour of Florence and the Duomo etc
Day 6: more of Florence
Day 7; day long hill town plus vineyard plus wine tour
Day 8: depart by train (late morning/early afternoon ) for Cinque Terra . Suggestions for where to stay would be appreciated. Stay in Cinque Terra
Day 9: Stay in Cinque Terra
Day 10: enjoy Cinque Terra and depart in the afternoon to stay in Pisa
Day 11: My daughter flies back to Mexico from Pisa and I will take the train to Rome. I have never been to Pompeii so I will take a day long tour from Rome on Day 12.
It seems like a doable and active look at northern Italy. I had thought about Lake Como or Maggiore and some of the other hill towns. I have driven in Italy before without incident( I did get a ticket months later...which I paid) but the train seems so easy and we are light packers.
I always appreciate any thoughts or recommendations.
Many thanks.

When are you going, the weather may have a significant influence of how you enjoy Cinque terre (e not a)?

You might look at La Torretta in Manarola.

I’m not sure why you are heading to Rome at the end of this trip, rather than giving yourself more time in Venice or Florence but, that said: IMO, a day trip from Rome to Pompeii is far from ideal. If you do go to Rome, consider visiting Ostia Antica instead.
