Day 1

We landed in Milan MXP airport and after all the checks we exit the airport and Centuro Car Rental cab was waiting for us to receive and take us to their shop (we had pre-booked the car online). We drove the car to La Spazia that evening and stayed in Apartmento Stefani,  La Spazia. Next day we went to Railway station to catch train to Cinque Terre. You can buy full day tickets which costs 16 euros per person, where you can travel all the 5 towns.
Back to Apartment after a tiring Cinque Terre walking tour.

We drove to Bolgheri which took an hour to reach this road. This road is 5km-long cypress tree-lined road stretches between Bolgheri and San Guido in Tuscany; a stunning, impossibly romantic avenue built from 2500 cypress trees.
