We are going to Rome for 3 days , then a cooking school for 6days and then to Sienna . We'll rent a car and travel around tuscany using a hotel in Sienna as out base for 3 days.Then a return to Florence for 2and a 1/2 days.Then home. How does this sound as we have no experience in Italy or the Tuscany area.

Excuse me, but where is the cooking school?

Bailey333,
There is plenty to see in Siena. If you want suggestions on day trips e-mail me.

We are going to as cooking school in Montefollonico near Chiusi, Called "Tuscan Women Cook."

I'd love some suggestions as to day trips to take from Sienna, I hear the Chiati roasd is a must. Are there plenty of gas stations available?
