My friend and I will be in Tuscany in May and I would like to stay at an Agriturismo. Any place requiring a one week stay won't work. It seems like most agriturismos cater to couples. Does anyone know of one that has two beds in a room? Ideally I could like to be around Siena or south. Even northern Umbria could work. Thanks!

If you don't get sufficient responses to your post, check booking.com, it lists many agriturismi that do not require a week's stay, and you can filter amenities (parking, wifi, breakfast included, swimming pool) when you search, and choose the for number of beds when you book a room.

Most booking websites will have listings of agriturismi, including Booking.com as suggested by Zoe.
The ones below, specialize in those type of accommodations, so you may want to take a look at these. It is true that most cater to families or groups, but almost all will have more than a double size bed for a couple (in Italian that is called "letto matrimoniale" or "matrimonial bed"). The standard size for a 'letto matrimoniale' in Italy is 180cm wide, that is about 10 inches larger than a Queen size bed in America, but about 4 or 5 in. narrower than a King size. The Twin size bed is exactly half that (90 cm wide). The "letto a una piazza e mezzo" (1 and 1/2 size bed), which is in between the two (like a double bed in the US) is really rare nowadays. My grandmother used to have a couple of those. they were popular in the old days, but if you find them today is just because the farmhouse is furnished with antiques.

Google Villa Arnilu. They rent rooms by the night. They have more than one Agritursimo so check them all. It is near San Gimignano.
