Suggestions please
 

I am looking for hotels outside of Florence with easy train access 40 mins or less. We want to hit the highlights of Florence but want to drive around the hill towns as well. Any ideas?

My suggestion is that the title of your post reflect what you want to know. Everyone is here wanting suggestions or advice about something.

At least give us a clue, perhaps: Advice needed for hotels outside Florence

thank you, i will repost , first timer obviously.

We stayed in Radda at RELAIS FATTORIA VIGNALE, which is a lovely hotel overlooking olive groves and vineyards. Radda is about a 40 minute drive from both Florence and Siena. We also took a long daytrip from Radda to San Gimignano ( about two hours each way).

Try Hotel David in Florence. There is parking and its ina great location to walk around Florence or drive away. check trip advisor.com.

Thanks for the ideas, I will check them out, sounds great.
