Tuscany B&B or Villa?

Could someone tell me if there are any nice Bed and Breakfast Inns or Villas in the Tuscany region that approximately 8 people could rent at one time (family)? We were hoping for at least 3-4 private bathrooms in this setting.

Thank you.

We stayed in San Gimignano at La Locanda di Quercecchio www.sangiroom.it
a 14th century building completely rebuilt inside, lovely rooms with great new bathrooms, very central and run by a very friendly Italian family. The family also own a bar in the piazza near the Duomo where you can have breakfast (extra) or other meals. If you book early enough, you could rent the whole place. 60/65 euro per room - good value for money. We would definitely recommend a stay there. San G is also a lovely town, especially if you are into shopping!

gkcorc: It is really fun to rent a villa. tuscanynow.com has villas all over Tuscany in various configurations and price ranges. We rented one for my family near Lucca and had a great time. It had six bedrooms and four baths and was a refurbished 15th century building. Beautiful!

Thank you everyone for your thoughtful replies. I've printed them out and will pursue looking into all of them. Our family is very diverse and I'm hoping to find something that will meet everyone's needs and still give them a modicum of privacy. They are actually four different households. Thanks again!

I am also very strongly "pro villa". To get 3 (or especially 4) bathrooms, you might need to look nto the "sleeps 10 or 12".

Look through the offerings of www.domani-usa.com

Best wishes,

Rex

Definitely go villa...we stayed near Vagli-Agli, outside of Sienna. We had three children and 10 adults. The house was Due Torre. It had two sides, each with it's own kitchen. Plenty of bathrooms and a very nice pool.
