After two fantastic days in Venice, we rented a Smart car and drove to Tuscany. The smart car was an experience. When inside it, you do not feel like you are in a matchbox car, however every time we got out, we remarked, "How the heck do two suitcases and two people fit in there?" It was handy for parking for sure! Tuscany was gorgeous, enchanting, and relaxing. I could spend much more time there...but really, who couldn't?
