We are reviewing options for a European trip in either Spring or Fall 2018 ...three or four weeks?
Likely three couples - our thought was to rent a "base houses" in Spain, France and Italy
- around Valencia (day trips to Ibiza and Palma?)
- south of France to as far north as Nice
- around Florence (lots of day trips)
I wanted to add an unnecessary, but fun to me, train component by maybe flying into somewhere well north (Germany, Switzerland) ...train through the Alps, stop a day or two on the way and stay close to train station ... end up starting and finishing at whichever of the countries makes the most sense.
The group is flexible and fun - and, has enough money to afford a nice villa/house at each place. Probably have two cars so we have flexibility and not be locked into full time as a group.
Thoughts from those of you who have done something like this?
Thanks!!
