Chianti, anyone?

This is just an idea at this point, but I wanted to see if anyone might be interested in a group trip to Tuscany?  A few years ago, we took a trip with my family and rented two villas on a hillside vineyard in Chianti.  It's a great spot, about 20 minutes south of Florence, and convenient to visit Florence, Siena, San Gimignano, Montepulciano, Montalcino, etc.  I would love to go back and thought it would be a fun place to go with friends.  One of the villas has a beautiful terrace overlooking the vineyard and we cooked dinners many nights and ate out on the terrace.  That villa has 2 bedrooms plus a sleeper sofa; the second villa has 3 bedrooms (one with twin beds) and I think also a sleeper sofa.  You can rent one or both.  If you're interested, take a look:

Last time we rented directly through the owners, so we got a discount off the advertised rates.  Thoughts, anyone?  Meredith, have you had too much of Italy?  I'm thinking maybe of October sometime, but am open to other suggestions!

Comments

I love the idea

How long are you thinking?

I guess about a week

Very flexible at this point and open to all ideas and suggestions!

Sounds perfect

I have only been to italy on weekend trips so this seems like a perfect idea. I am totally in.

Other options

April or May 2010 would also be a nice time to visit.  Before the throngs of tourists really arrive.
