We are considering these villas for a week's stay in Tuscany and want to use one of them as homebase for going to Assisi, Orvieto, possibly Florence, Pienza, etc:<BR><BR>Fattoria Casa Sola (Barberino Val d' Elsa), Casa Del Neri (Piazze or Camporsevoli), Villa (Podere) Fallerini (Cetona), Podere il Perugine (Citta Della Pieve), Il Piave (Monticchiello). Has anyone stayed at these villas? Looking for feedback to make a decision! Thanks so much for all your help on travel talk.

My wife and I are staying in La Rimbecca in May for the second time with three other couples. We love this villa. The villa is in Greve in Chianti.<BR><BR>My review of the villa is at http://www.slowtrav.com/italy/reviewsdb/italy_rentalreview.asp?ReviewNumber=298<BR><BR>Her e is the web site we rented from and a description of the villa:<BR>http://www.cottagescastles.com/placeholders/details.asp?id=86<BR><BR>Any other questions, just ask.<BR>

My family and I are staying in one of the properties managed by la bella toscana (www.labellatoscana.net). They were incredibly nice and helpful, and the prices are great. Also, they have properties all over Tuscany. We are staying near SanGimigniano, so that everything is only 1hr away.

As always, location is the key. If you truly want to see Assisi and Orvieto--and why not--then I like the Cetona location. They would be 2 hours from most Chianti locations.

Thank you everyone for your helpful replies. We have decided on the villa called Villa Fallerini which is outside Piazze. If anyone has stayed at this villa, please let us know! Thanks.
