The flight back is on 14-July-2023 from Milan (MXP), it is in the morning so in the last night of the 13th we will sleep near the airport

Do you need other specific advice?
Farm stays


Translate to English

And, finally... what do you want to do, in general, in your trip to Italy?
Our preferences from high to low priority:

1. Base the trip on nature(except Rome obviously), and we would be happy to see some wild animals

2. Recommend on less touristic places, where there is less crowd

3. minimize the number of changes in the accommodation.

4. we would like to minimize drive time, especially when it is hard in the mountains



Additional requests:

We would like to see and be in snow if possible (one time is sufficient)

Water activity is great, at least one hot springs 

Wineries are not of interest

Easy Alpine coaster can be a nice addition

message from the customer: Thank you so much, I have some questions and some modification requests:
Day 1: would it be better to explore rome without a car? maybe there is a parking problem. Maybe we can accomodate near plasa navona (like RomeAsYouLike- Monti Experience 295)
Another option is what you suggested but maybe accomodat on the other side of Rome so the drive to Toscany will be shorter

Day2: If we stay inside Rome we can do part of Rome activities in Day 2

Day 3: where to stop on the way? is there a good place to visit?
Day 5: Thermal baths - How about Cascate del Mulino-Hot Spring, it is more in the nature and also has cascades, what is your opinion?

Day 6: where to stop on the way? At least two stops are required for such a long drive

Day 8: Marmolada, will be know there?

Can you please add half day to one day for cycling?
We’ve been in Garda lake so we can skip Lake Como focus on the dolomites, can you please change the itinerary accordingly?
How about Pisa? is it worth passing by?
