Italy Travel Suggestions - San Gimignano or Siena overnight?
Hi - my husband and I will be travelling to Italy this summer and are planning on renting a car from Florence and driving around in the Tuscany region.
We are currently conflicted between the two itineraries -
Option 1 -
16th June - Rent a car in Florence and drive to Montepulciano (stop in Pienza on the way). Stay in Montepulciano.
17th June - Drive to Siena. Do a wine tasting at Azienda Agricola La Lastra. Explore Sienna for a few hours and stay the night there.
18th June - Drive back to Florence
Option 2 -
16th June - Rent a car in Florence and drive to A Solatio in Certaldo - do a wine tasting there and then hang out in Certaldo until 5 pm. Drive to San Gimignano and stay the night there.
17th June - Drive to Siena - do half a day there and drive to Montepulciano post lunch. Spend the evening and night in Montepulciano.
18th June - Drive back to Florence
Which itinerary makes the most sense? We would like to stay in two different spots across the two days. Any other recommendations on route/wine tastings are also welcome!
Thanks :))
