If you could return and had a choice of one or the other, which would you select?

How about both?

My answer is Tuscany though - and it is not really that close. The Amalfi coast is beautiful, but there is so much to do in the Tuscany region, and Florence, IMO, is the greatest city in the world.

We keep going back to Tuscany, but we mix it up when it comes to European beaches. This year it will be The Greek islands of Crete and Naxos.

Tuscany without a doubt. Went to both on the same trip. Spent time in Positano and Florence.

Amalfi was pretty but that’s all it was for me. Tuscany has so much more to offer. Wish we spent more time there.

In fact, now that I’ve seen the historic landmarks of Rome, the only time I expect myself to be back in Rome is a pass through to get back to Tuscany.

Tuscany. Florence and Sienna are accessible. The Tuscan coast isn't far away and if you're into wine it's heaven on earth.

Compare Amalphi Coast to CinqueTerre. Going to the latter in May.

Love them both. I have been to Tuscany four times and spent a week on the Amalfi coast about five years ago.

My answer is Tuscany. Florence is a great city as isSiena and I especially enjoy the countryside with the vineyards and the smaller hill towns.

Besides, if you want want an Amalfi like experience in Tuscany you can go to the Cinque Terre.

Can’t go wrong either way.

I am planning a trip to Tuscany as we speak. I plan to be there for a week in mid-October. I think we will fly into Rome and spend three nights there before heading to Tuscany and leave from Florence after spending 3 night there. For those that have been, should we spend our week in Tuscany in one place and take day trips or divide into two stops of three nights each. I typically like to stay at least 2-3 nights in one place to limit moving, packing, unpacking, etc.

Base Here . I have stayed there twice, most recently in 2018. You will need a car but if gives you the quintessential Tuscan countryside experience. It is halfway between Florence and Siena and an easy drive from both. On our last visit we spent a week there then spent three nights in Florence then took the train to Venice. That is my all time favorite itinerary.

All or nothing and I have the same disposable cash on hand, then I am going back to Le Sirenuse in Positano for a week again.

I’d stay at an agritourismo in Tuscany. There are a ton of great ones. Pick one that fits your needs and is in a location that you’d like as a base.

Le Sirenuse in Positano
. If money is no object stay there. We didn’t stay at the hotel but we spent so much time in the bar and restaurant the staff considered us regulars.
