What is your favorite small town to stay in between Venice and Rome?
We are staying in Haarlem for four days to see the tulips, Venice for five days, and three days in a small town somewhere between Venice and Rome, ending our trip with five days in Rome to visit a friend. I'm not sure whether we will drive or take the train.
We have often spent a couple of days in Orvieto or Assisi, but I'm trying to think of another small town for this trip.
What are your favorite places anywhere more or less between Venice and Rome? We haven't stayed in Cortona or Montepulciano....hmm...

There may be as many suggestions as there are Fodorites.
If going by train, consider Spoleto or Arezzo.
If by car, consider Gubbio, Bevagna, Todi or the Montepulciano/Pienza/San Quirico/Montalcino area.

Cortona - loved sitting in the Cafe, with an incredible Cappuccino and watching the villagers meet, chat, enjoy their coffees and head out to open their shops and businesses ... much as it has been done for centuries....It was delightful!!

Have you thought about going through the Dolomites? Cortina d'Ampezzo is not far from Venice (a couple of hours). While I did not make it that far this October, we hit most of the rest of the Dolomites and they are amazing!!! Just remember it is more German up here than Italian. You could also go to Bologna and Verona. Lots to see, do and great food!!! Not matter where you go, you will have a great time!
