Tuscany

Oh heck, I've recently sorted out my boss's Italian holiday, but can't for the life of me remember the exact locations (he flies into Pisa, then goes somewhere for 3 days, then somewhere else for 4 days , the Florence for 6 days)

I seem to remember that the two places I booked for the first bits seemed lovely, if you can bear with me until I get back into the office on Tuesday and check the locations (they were all train journeys from Pisa) I might be able to help.

I loved Sienna the best from our two tours in Tuscany. San Gimigano (spelling) is also fascinating but very touristy of course. Off to Verona and Lake Garda soon can't wait. I hope you have a lovely trip and the wedding goes well.

Italy is my favourite place I particularly love Venice and the Amalfi coast (although the roads are a bit scary) - Sorrento is lovely. We have also been to Lakes Como and Garda and also Verona. Teetime don't forget to get yoursalf onto Juliet's balcony and do your 'Romeo, Romeo' bit as I did.

I was going to say Sienna too, storynanny, simply because it's one place we missed out on when we were in Tuscany, and so many people have told me since how beautiful it is.

We based ourselves in a little place called San Vincenzo several years ago. It would have helped if we could speak better Italian though, as we were the only English there! Luckily the receptionist had spent time working in England and was pleased to have chance to practice her English again. She was very helpful in giving us tips on places to visit. It was great for days out to Sienna, San Gimignano (?) and the Tuscan hills. We still keep vowing to learn Italian properly, but not really got round to it yet.

That would be helpful Phoenix, thanks everyone
