Hello Travellers! I am in the process of planning a trip to Italy in early Oct. with my girlfriend, sister and her husband. Plan on renting a villa in Tuscanny for a week either in the Montalcino/Pienza or Chianti area (Greve/Siena) Would like to be near a quaint village with cafe's/bars/restaurants? Any recomendations on the best area or Villa's appreciated. Will be staying in Florence on the back end so no day trips there required though we will do a few day trips since we will be renting a car for the week.

Thanks.

The best Tuscany info is at slowtrav.com--look at their reviews of rentals.

Having spent time both in the Chianti region and the Val d'Orcia region (Montalcino/Pienza etc.) I vote that the Val d'Orcia region is one of THE most beautiful areas in the world. I know there are many that agree with me on this. I stayed in a hotel in Montalcino so cannot help with a villa, but definitely try to get one in this area.

We just returned from a trip to Italy where we stayed in Castellina in Chianti for four nights. We stayed at Fattoria Tregole - absolute paradise. They rent five rooms and two apartments on the most gorgeous farm land. Here's the web site: www.fattoria-tregole.com
