    We drove 3 hours to saturina, was wonderful.
    Got to a small town to have lunch, the people were super nice.
    Best time ever.
    We missed Lucca and Arrezo, so maybe one day we'll be back there for more :)
    Renting a car in touscany is a must!

    I stumbled across Arezzo by accident when I got off at the wrong stop on the train, and what a wonderful mistake!! Absolutely lovely town, so underrated, I went in March so there was barely any tourists.

    Arezzo is sop underrated.
    Monte san Savino, Cortona , and all the casentino valley are precious and full of history, but most of all , really not busy and enjoyable, price reflect that .

    • @carlosacchelli8451
      @carlosacchelli8451 2 роки тому +1

      Hai ragione perché Arezzo è un città interessante, ma anche la mia LIVORNO è un po' sottovaluta eppure c'è un lungomare tra i più estesi ed affascinanti d'EUROPA, il suggestivo ( specialmente by night) quartiere di Venezia, il Museo Civico FATTORI e lo splendido SANTUARIO di MONTENERO, raggiungibile con la funicolare, con un panorama mozzafiato! Invece sono riprese sempre le solite 3/4 città...ma in realtà in Toscana ci sono almeno 20/25 luoghi da visitare. Saluti.

    Hello Stefano, love your video. I've been to Florence several times and love everything about it. I traveled to Lucca on my last trip and have to disagree about this area. It was very difficult walking inside the main area, was getting lost on the tiny streets and alleys, and didn;t find the experience very enjoyable. It was also at least an hour and a half away from Florence by train!

    • @StefanoFerro
      @StefanoFerro  Рік тому +2

      Thanks for your feedback. Really appreciated. I love how we are all different. Lucca is one of the Tuscan towns I actually love the most. That is what I always say on my website and videos, we all like places in a different way. Again, thanks for your comment

      Thanks 👍🏻👍🏻 it can be quite cold and possibly snowing. A complete different experience with snow. It's very rare nowadays it does happen.
      Honestly, if the cold weather is now an issue for you, then December is a good month, not as busy as well

    Stefano, wife and I are looking for a place to stay between our time in Florence and Rome as we close out our three week trip to Italy. Looking at Arezzo. Would love to know why you mention as a romantic destination. Love your videos.

    • @StefanoFerro
      @StefanoFerro  5 місяців тому

      Romantic because the historical centre is so beautiful but not as touristy as the other cities in Tuscany. Still expect narrow lanes, cobblestone streets, local tavernas, etc. Another town you should consider between Rome and Florence is Orvieto. It's in Umbria, just a few km from Tuscany. I love it. It's located on top of a small hill reachable with a sort of cable car from the train station. The old centre is once again so beautiful.
      Enjoy your trip

  • @johnharvey1786
    @johnharvey1786 2 роки тому +3

    Just back from a week in San Quirico d’Orcia. Great location but you do need a car. The surrounding countryside is fantastic. Pienza is lovely, Montalcino and Montepulciano are both very good. Siena is ok but very very busy however the Duomo di Siena makes the visit worthwhile as it’s stunning.

    • @StefanoFerro
      @StefanoFerro  2 роки тому

      Hi John, it looks like you had a blast there. Wonderful part of the world.
      Indeed it can all be done with local transportation. Having a car gives more flexibility of course, but public transportation is good as well.
      Totally agree on Siena, unmissable, but busy

    I wonder where is best and inexpensive to do a long-term rental in Lucca, Pisa or Arrezzo for retired couples? Of course, no car and using public transport.

    • @StefanoFerro
      @StefanoFerro  2 роки тому

      Without a car ....I would say Pisa. Arezzo if you prefer a more charming town, although Posa is so well connected

    • @MarcoArezzo76

    Thanks for the video. Any suggestions where to stay if go to Tuscany for a month?

    • @StefanoFerro
      @StefanoFerro  2 роки тому

      No worries. It really depends on the month I believe.
      If in summer, I would stay in a town close to the sea, in this way you can take easy half-day trips to the beach. Pisa and Lucca are great options in this respect.
      In Autumn I would stay in Siena, close to some amazing wineries, great to experience the busiest time of the year, when they pick up the grapes and make the wine.
      In winter, Florence, well connected to everywhere in Tuscany and the busiest place in Tuscany (but far from the busy time of summer)
      Arezzo is a great option for spring if you prefer to be far from the crowd experiencing the local life.
      I hope I was able to help out
      Cheers

    I'd add in that if you want countryside agriturismo you'd be better off learning some basic italian phrases. The miscommunication can be frustrating at times when you don't speak the same language.

    • @StefanoFerro

    Cari stranieri venite a Lucca nella mia città ma quando andrete sulle Mura non ci sono auto a circolare ma se avete bambini teneteli vicino a voi e non lasciateli andare da soli perché possono cadere al di sotto visto che non ci sono parapetti e transenne nella maggior parte del percorso ...e noi lucchesi non ce le vogliamo

      Pisa is not only about the tower and the cathedral. There is more than that in the old town. Certainly is not as beautiful as Siena or Florence
