Anyone know of a good website? Would just be for a week but have a large group. Or any other ideas...thanks!
We'll be staying at an agriturismo called Castello di Selvole on July 26 - 30. My sister (who lives in Italy) received the recommendation from a friend. We're really looking forward to it! http://www.selvole.com/
Don't know how large your group is, but a friend of mine is currently staying here with about 24 people (12 adults 12 kids):

It's about 12 km from Arezzo, 45 km from Siena and 35 km from Cortona
Alex,
Try Slow Travel http://www.slowtrav.com/italy/vr/reviews.asp
I know from doing aslot of searching for this myself that www.vrbo.com has a selection of several very nice ones. I have rented from them before and have had very good luck.
Haven't used VRBO for Italy but worked well for Hawaii, Paris and Prague. Just need to do your homework so you're not only sold on the pictures.

We rented the Roman Villa for a week, and loved it. don't know about the other locations, but these places all have resident owners who purport to be helpful. Ours certainly was the tops!
We spent a week at Villa Olimpia. Absolutely fantastic. Can't wait to spend 2 weeks. Here's the link http://www.villaolimpia.it
