Umbria or Tuscany
I've narrowed down a nice trip from Rome to Umbria or Tuscany. What are the pros and cons of either region. What are the top places to visit?
I have 3 days and 2 nights.
I would like ideas on on location (home base) and special hotels/villas/castles to stay.
Also, I have a flight out of Rome at 11:00 (on a Sunday). Is there a place that would be reasonable to drive from to get to the airport on time? How early should I be at the airport?
Thanks...
Current Thought:
Home base: El Marsam - B&B near Umbertide.
Visit:
Day 1: Assisi
Day 2: ???
Day 3: trip to Florence (train back to Rome)

Scates, Given a choice and only 3 days to explore, I would do south Tuscany. The Umbertide location is a long way and too remote. Stay south of Siena, perhaps in Montalcino, and explore from there. Spend your last nite in Orvieto, less than 2 hours to FCO. Do a search and look at Palazzo del Capitano in San Quirico--a great central location for south Tuscany. Also look at Hotel Il Giglio in Montalcino--very reasonable and right in town. Good luck !
