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!
