Where would you stay in Tuscany for 4 nights?

Question

My family is traveling to Italy in early October for a week. We're gonna start in Rome for a few nights and then head to a Tuscany town. I'd like to put us in the most beautiful, practical place.

I was thinking Siena.

Any ideas?

Answer 1

I'm italian and i love Tuscany. I'm been in all town of it, and the best one is Florence, it's the most beautiful city in the world. I assure you.

Answer 2

I would also recommend both Siena and Lucca.

I was SUPPOSED to stay in Siena but ended up in Montepulciano a little hillside village in the Siena region.  There are lots of little villages if you want a bit more quiet.  Also has great views to the surrounding areas and often make wine!!

siena (and Florence ) are expensive comparatively to other places and I also have heard Pisa is not a place to stay (except for  visiting the Tower), but Siena is lovely.

Answer 3

Definitely Firenze!

Answer 5

I was going to recommend Siena as well, or Lucca.  I wouldn't recommend Pisa (maybe go to see the Leaning Tower, which is pretty neat, but other than that, Pisa is a tourist trap and extremely overrated).
