Tuscany is absolutely stunning, as everyone always knows by now. I stayed in Florence for a total of one week, but I was still able to fit in 3 other cities on top of it! One of the trips was both Lucca and then Pisa in one day via trains, then Siena the next day via buses.
I hope you guys liked this short segment of my ongoing travels!

DRIVING THRU ITALY TO FLORENCE, TUSCANY, ROME, POMPEII, SORRENTO & AMALFI, Our Ancient Civilization Trip
Our two week Ancient Civilization trip continues. We leave Greece and Fly to Italy. We start in Florence. Here we stay at the Sina Villa Medici Marriott Autograph Hotel. This property is in a great location for walking everything in the historic area of Florence. We climbed the duomo (make sure to make your reservations as only so many people can climb at once). We visited the Medici Palazzo (house) and walked the Ponte Vecchio (the bridge with the houses on it). We tried to attend church but with a marathon going on we could not make it as the running line trapped us in the historic center. I had the best truffle pasta at Hostaria Il Desco.
After Florence we loaded into our 9 passenger van, which makes total sense in the USA and not so much in ancient cities; and drove thru Tuscany on our way down to Rome. We did the Chianti region which was beautiful, full of charm, and even though it was rainy and cold the hills were still full of color.
In Rome we stayed at the Marriott Grand Hotel Flora, here we had a two bedroom which was fun to be all together. This hotel is next to the ancient wall and close to the Vatican City. The first morning we headed out early to the Vatican City. Here we had a tour guide so we skipped the line into the museum, saw the Sistine Chapel, St Peters Basilica and admired all the marble.
Afterwards we headed toward the Colosseum and had a 2 hour lunch at a restaurant that really knows how to make yummy soup. Gli Angeletti its on Via dell'Angeletto, 3, Roma
After warming up with soup we headed over to the Colosseum ran around for a bit, then took a crazy cab ride back to the hotel.
That night steer being exhausted from a long day we stayed in with room service.
The next morning we packed up and drove down to Pompeii. This was what Turner really wanted to see on this trip. Pompeii was much larger than I ever thought and we spent about 2 hours walking thru the 165 acre complex.
Then we continued on to Sorrento where we had an AirB&B in the heart of Sorrento. The location and space was great. In fact its by a Super Host and overall it was fine and would work for my family of 6 if we returned.
However, I don't know if I will ever go back to Sorrento or the Amalfi coast. I felt like its this hyped up place but in all honesty there really isn't anything special. We all agreed it felt like the whole area had been turned into a destination for cruise ships, the food isn't great and everything about it feels extremely tourist. Solerno at the end of the coast is actually better. Still we had trouble finding well prepared food. We were not on a budget but seriously finding really well prepared food in Italy was difficult no matter what we spent. Its frustrating because you think Italy will have amazing food flowing everywhere but the truth is that because so many areas only cater to tourists I think they lower their quality and change the authenticity to suit what travelers think they want. I had the best luck with soups. The truffle pasta in Florence and actually the pizza crust in Sorrento was really good.
After Sorrento, we drove back to Rome and took a flight to Istanbul. Turkey is a true highlight of this trip.

A full week in Tuscany, Italy, summed up in 3 minutes! Tuscany is one of the most amazing regions in all of Italy. It's main city, Florence, is packed with history, art and culture. The food, the atmosphere - all incredible. We spent 2 days roaming around the city of Florence with a rental bike - we visited the duomo, the Palazzo Pitti, the Baboli Garden, the Uffizi Gallery... and watched the sunset over piazza Michelangelo (which is not to miss!) Our day tour in San Gimignano, Siena and wine tasting in Chianti were sweet taste of the countryside part of Tuscany. The last 3 days we spent in Pisa. We spent a day in Lucca - a very traditional, fortified, little town with amazing views. We gave a little visit to Livorno to watch the sunset, and the food is incredible! A pure taste of the ocean. A 2 hour drive from Pisa, Cinque Terre - 5 little towns connected to each other via train - a busy touristic spot, most beautiful of all - Manarola, the views are unbelievable. Last but not least, Pisa - nothing to see much except for the tower and the church beside it, but still, you gotta see, lean and take the photo!
Tuscany road trip
A short video of our amazing week in Toscana. The first three nights we stayed at agriturismo Podere Rondinaio and the other four at Podere Fornaci. We recommend travelling by car because there are so many places worth visiting: Firenze, Lucca, Pisa, Siena, San Gimignano, Montepulciano, Pienza, Montalcino, Asciano, val d'Orcia...

Lucca Tuscany Italy Travel Europe - Village of Lucca, Toskana
Lucca is a city and comune in Tuscany, Central Italy, situated on the river Serchio in a fertile plain near the Tyrrhenian Sea. It is the capital city of the province of Lucca. Among other reasons, it is famous for its intact Renaissance-era city walls. ucca was founded by the Etruscans (there are traces of a pre-existing Ligurian settlement) and became a Roman colony in 180 BC. The rectangular grid of its historical centre preserves the Roman street plan, and the Piazza San Michele occupies the site of the ancient forum. Traces of the amphitheatre can still be seen in the Piazza dell'Anfiteatro.
Lucca is the birthplace of composers Giacomo Puccini (La Bohème and Madama Butterfly), Nicalao Dorati, Francesco Geminiani, Gioseffo Guami, Luigi Boccherini, and Alfredo Catalani. It is also the birthplace of Bruno Menconi and artist Benedetto Brandimarte.

Italy - Lucca (Tuscany)
During our stay in Florence we took a day trip to Lucca in the area known as Tuscany. Lucca was founded by the Etruscans and became a Roman colony in 180 BC. After a pleasant train ride to this ancient walled city we spent the day walking through the town and along the wall that surrounds it. We also spent some time in the town square so Tina could draw & I could people watch and take some photos. This was one of only a couple of rainy days we had on the whole trip and the rain was for short periods. You will notice that this album does not have the bright sunny scenes found in the others. It was a delightful town and we enjoyed the day a great deal.
