First off- thanks in advance for any advice! (first time posting)
We are planning a ~2.5-3 week trip to Italy for May 2022 with our 2 kids (6 and 8).
My idea of a dream Italy vacay is cozy farms, beautiful scenery, amazing food, space for the kids to run and explore, bike rides, horse rides, and an authentic feel.
We also like to take our time in places vs trying to rush and see it all. I feel we have to see Rome and Venice but also know our kids will easily get overwhelmed and tired by the big cities.
Based on that, I have loosely come up with the following itinerary:
Fly into Rome (found a great points flight from our city); 3 nights here
5 nights in Umbria (agriturismo)
5 nights in Tuscany (agriturismo)
? 1-2 nights in Bergamo (my hubby has been and loves Citta Alta neighbourhood)
3 nights in Venice - fly home
Any thoughts on this? I love the idea of Cinque Terre but perhaps best to save it for another time (without the kids!).
Thank you!! Cait
