Need 9 ensuite bedroom vacation villa in Chianti

Planning a trip for 18 adults (9 couples) to Tuscany next October. Does anyone have a line on a big Villa that can accommodate 9 couples in en suite bedrooms? No "French beds" (which I think is an American double -- too small) or pull out couches. Would prefer Chianti Classico region near Castellina or Radda. I have been scouring the on line sources but would like to know if anyone has actually stayed in any of these large places that would like to make a recommendation. Want a whole house -- not apartments. Want to cook in a big kitchen and have both indoor and outdoor dining seating for group as well as common areas to hang out in and a pool. Advise away! Thanks.

p.s. very familiar with this area as this will be our 4th time back but never rented a property this large. All suggestions will be appreciated.

I've not done this, but just spotted this place I like on the Parker Villas site:

I would google sties that feature luxury villas - since what you want is completely different from the family or 2 couple suitable villas. Only a VERY large and luxurious villa will have 9 bedrooms suitable for couples - most have at least some rooms for kids (typically single or bunk beds with shared baths).

If you can't find one villa to accommodate your group, look at LaFoce. We stayed with 5 couples but I seem to remember that they had all size units...perhaps 2 villas might work.

I think that is going to be extremely difficult because even the places with 9 bedrooms won't usually have them all with queen or larger beds, that is really the tough part (and everyone with its own bath).

however, I think this place fits the description http://www.doorwaysltd.com/italy/tus...cia_prop.shtml (the villa Lucia listing).
