The car
About this car in Florence
Not every open-top week in Tuscany needs a V8. The CLE Cabriolet with the 197 hp diesel suits an unhurried itinerary: a loop through the Val d'Orcia, a few days on the Versilia, Lucca on the way, all on remarkably few visits to the pump. It reaches 100 km/h in 7.9 seconds, plenty for country roads limited to 90 km/h, and with the hood up it is as quiet as a saloon on the motorway.
Start south. Pienza, Montalcino and San Quirico sit among UNESCO-listed hills roughly 110 km from Florence, and the roads that join them are made for a folded roof and a low radio. Some estates down there are reached on gravel, so with a rear-wheel-drive car ask your winery or agriturismo how good the track is before you turn off. On another day, take the motorway west to Lucca, walk the Renaissance walls, then follow the coast between Viareggio and the beach towns of the Versilia with the Apuan Alps behind you.
Rear-wheel drive makes this a car for spring to autumn; winter tyres are fitted in the cold season, but for snowy Apennine roads an all-wheel-drive model is the wiser pick. The boot takes three small cases, so soft bags work best. You can collect it at Firenze Peretola, Pisa Galileo Galilei, Santa Maria Novella or your hotel, as set out at booking, and the rental comes with insurance and assistance at any hour.
- Economical 197 hp diesel for long touring days in Tuscany
- Val d'Orcia, Lucca and the Versilia coast with the roof down
- Four seats, three small cases, best from spring to autumn
