Private sedan seems to be $1000USD??

Thanks

Yes, this is relatively "easy". The train Florence to Rome is about 1 hour 40 minutes. You will need reserved seats. The hotel concierge can get you tickets if you need a 1-way.

You will then transfer trains in Rome/Termini on the Leonardo Express for another 30 minute train ride.

The "uneasy" part is dragging your luggage around. The Leonardo Express Termini to FCO is very reliable - and so is the Florence to Rome train, but I'd buffer in time for the unexpected.
