If you’re looking to do a little more…

If you want to see some of the best of what northern Italy has to offer, we recommend Cinque Terre, which is made up of five towns built into the cliffs along the Mediteranean coast of the La Spezia region. They are connected by a train but you can also hike between the five towns. There is no direct road that connects them, so no cars allowed!

The following towns are all within a few hours by train and are highly recommended if you want to venture out a bit further:

Lucca
Pisa
Firenze (Florence)
Siena
San Gimignano

Barbara’s relatives have a country home (kind of like a bed and breakfast) in Tuscany. We can arrange a nice rate if you are interested in staying at their place. You can view their website here.
