Staying in Florence or in Chianti with kids?

Will stay in Tuscany for 6 nights (after 4 in Venice) and Can't decide if I should stay in Florence for the 2 nights (to explore Florence and Siena) and then rent a car to to an agriturismo in Chianti for 4 days....or if I should stay in Chianti for the whole time and do day visits to Florence, Siena, and Tuscan towns. I m traveling with 2 children and normally try to avoid changing hotels too much...the agriturismo looks like a grat option to ezplore Tuscany ( il casello has a nice pool) but don't know if it is too much of a hasle to drive and park in Florence and Siena. Would appreciate any suggestions! Thanks.

Assuming you're agriturismo is in a locsation handy to a train station, I would use stay there and use the car to get to a train or bus station to get to Florence and Siena. It's great to stay in both cities overnight, but your kids will appreciate being able to come back and enjoy the pool.
