You say it is an apartment - so [as always] my advice is to talk to your neighbours, and see who they recommend. Best bet is to get 2 or 3 quotes - but don't automatically choose the cheapest.

It also depends how good yout Italian is - if you are looking for a position where you only need English, its probably not worth looking. However - Google 'English speaking jobs in Milan' and you get things likehttp://www.jobsinmilan.com/

I think you need to give us a bit more info, if you want some real suggestions. Things like;-

  • when you say you'll take 9 days, are you hoping to stop for a day or two in places that interest you [if so, what is of interest], or are you intending to do say 100 miles a day [to give an afternoon/morning at a location] and do overnight stops all the way
  • Route - I think you need to flesh it out a bit, so people get a feel for where you think you want to go

Suggestion - get some detailed road atlases if you want to avoid motorways [I bought some through Amazon] Hope this helps
