Family trip -- After 1 week in Pienza, where to go?

Ok -- please help me choose. Remember it's early June and have 3 kids in tow 8, 6, and 3.  And after our one week villa in Pienza, we have to end up in Milan. 

After the week in Pienza, where should we spend next 8 days?
A) go to Florence for 2 nights and then drive to Verona and take day trips (Venice, Simirione, Lake Garda)
B) rent a great villa right outside of Lucca for a week (with day trips to Florence (I've been before), Pisa, coast, etc and then one night in Parm (or nearby) and last night at Milan airport
C) go to Santa Maria Liguire or Cinque Terre (and maybe Florence first for 2 nights?)

PROS and CONS to these?

A . Is the best option from what u list. If u have a car may I suggest u visit the dolomites from Verona. It is drop dead beautiful alpine area that u and your children may just love. Think hiking, gondolas and views that are amazing.

2 nights in Florence (with a car you need to stay outside the ZTL of the historical center or even at the edges of town)
1 or 2 nights in Verona (same deal, the historical center of VR has a ZTL too)
4 nights roaming around the Dolomites and/or lake Garda.
