In the planning stages of a ~1 month stay in Italy with our 3 year old and 4 month old. March 2023.
Looking for some feedback/suggestions on our approach.
Our main goal is to spend 2-3 weeks in one place to relax, get immersed in the culture, and do some day trips.
We are traveling from NYC area and a direct flight is a priority with the kids.
Loose itinerary:
-Fly into Rome - spend ~3 nights to explore city
-Drive to Tuscany region and spend our 2-3 weeks at a rental home.
-Drive to Venice, stay a few nights - fly home.
I found a rental near Anghiari that seems to have a lot of what we are looking for in a house (ambiance, amenities, etc), but seems to be on the ‘outskirts’ of Tuscany. Any thoughts on this area for our situation, or suggestions for other places to look for a rental home?
Does a day trip into Florence seem feasible from Tuscany countryside (wherever we choose to stay)? Or recommend adding a night or two in Florence?
Is there anything that should be added or cut or would be considered can’t miss?
Any other tips and tricks for traveling with young kids in Italy is also appreciated.
Thank you!
