Hi there,
Looking for recommendations for accommodations in late June for 3 nights in Tuscany for a family of 4 with 2 teens. We'd like to experience the culture and have opportunities for wine tasting and vineyard tour on site. Would like beautiful setting with views, stunning vistas, a pool is a plus. We'd prefer one room with 2 double or queen beds, not a pull out sofa. Suite would be great if it's not too pricey. Please let me know if you've stayed somewhere like this that you love!
It sounds like you're thinking of an agriturismo stay at a rural style of accommodation, but some clarification would be helpful.
- Are you planning on having a car? Most rural agriturismo stays pretty much require a car - some will shuttle you to and from the airport or train station but that limits your selection.
- You should also list a budget you are comfortable with and a month of the year would also be good information.
- And you might narrow down what you mean by "Tuscany" since it is about the same size as the state of Vermont.
Usually people are looking for a specific area, but if you are really open to anywhere I would search the previous posts in the forum and just browse the places suggested by others. There are agencies that do nothing but agriturismo rentals but it is always great to have a recommendation.
Good luck,

A good place to start you research is Booking.com
They list agritusmos, villas, etc
Use the filters for location, budget, #beds/rooms, amenities
You can trust the reviews there as those can only be left by actual customers
You can filter the reviews as well
Book there or find the actual website
Also check the official agriturismo site

We stayed at the Hotel Belvedere di San Leonino on the RS Village Italy tour outside of Siena. It was very nice in the middle of vineyards with a swimming pool. I would go back on our own in fact we are on their mailing list for their wine.
