Any recommendations for an agriturismo in Tuscany. Early 30's couple with love of the outdoors. Reasonable budget not let's go for broke budget. Not even sure what these cost so I can't put a budget number out there. But said I'd ask. They can review any suggestions and decide what they can spend. I just really am looking for any suggestions; and great personal recommendations. Forum search engine didn't really work for me on this.
Thanks!

I’ve recommended this before, but I don’t think it’s among the threads in that link above. We’ve stayed twice at Chicca’s Casa Toscana, with two apartments on the second floor, located in Tuscany just 3 miles inland from the coast. She has extensive gardens (you can help yourself to a few vegetables) and lots of olive trees (they harvest and press them for olive oil each October). They’re just south of Bolgheri, the center of the Super Tuscan wineries, just downhill from the hilltown Castagneto Carducci, and close to other interesting villages, plus the beach and ocean. Bicycling and hiking are popular activities in the area. She teaches cooking classes there, and can do (or suggest) winery visits. Website is https://cookingintuscany.cc/casa-toscana/

We spent a week here and loved every minute. It is just 2 km outside of Montepulciano and a perfect location to explore both the Val d’Orcia and Umbria.

We are staying here. It's about 40 minutes southeast of Florence. We haven't been yet but are really excited! We found it on the website agriturismo.net. Good luck!

hey hey KD
when is this trip and only for 2 people, will they have a car? many agriturismos may require a minimum of days. like the site that TiffanyTravels mentions depending on what they are hoping and wanting with amenities.
discovertuscany.com
look under "where to stay and book ahead" and research places. renting a car is usually needed for driving the countryside, make sure parking available. they will need an IDP (aaa.com/IDP) mandatory in italy before leaving states for each driver. read up about laws, rules, signage, parking, tickets if you get one and other important issues. good luck and enjoy

Thanks princess pupule, they are pretty seasoned travelers and will definitely rent a car for the Tuscany region part of their trip. Their IDP's from last year's trip to Europe expire right before their next trip in the fall so they'll get new ones at AAA before they go. Thanks for the link. It will help with their research!
