    Never been to italy, but do travel the world alot and have used the website www.booking.com if you search the area you want it has a map and show the location of good hotels in the area, give reviews and can tell you what hotels have special offers on.

      As suggested, I have used Booking.com with some success as well. Not sure what your budget is but we never go below 3 stars.

      As for driving to Monaco - it will take longer than the distance on the map suggests to you. You have to get through Genoa to get there.

      There is quite a lot to do just in the region. Florence you have figured. There is also Sienna. Smaller quaint walled hill towns including Volterra and San Gimignano are good. If you are into wine there is Greve in Chianti (Wine museum has wine tasting vending machines (be careful)) and Montalcino and Montepulciano (Brunello and Super Tuscans).

      One trip, sans vehicle, we stayed in Florence and did a bus to San Gimignano and train to Pisa. Last trip we stayed near Colle di Val d'Esta between Sienna and Florence and radiated out from there (with a Fiat rental car) on day trips. Beware of Poggibonsi. Lots of one ways - got lost there *every* time we went through. I think they changed the road signs and directions every night just to confuse me.

      Good luck.

        Bring your own Sat Nav with Italy loaded onto it and you’ll be able to drive like a local. Worked for me in Portugal last year.
