Actually a Villa in Chianti - if you are looking for a base in Tuscany - where incidentally some of the best riding/driving roads exist and there tends to be a more relaxed approach from the rozzers when it comes to enthusiastic motoring - have a look at Il Mulinaccio.

Caterina and Stefano have this fabulous place located between the historic Chianti towns of Radda and Gaiole. There is accomodation for up to 13 people - a large swimming pool and 5 acres of park like grounds - so if you don't have a large family - there is sufficient space to go over with a load of mates and still have the privacy and relaxing time as if it's your own home.

Bring the family over and for the more adventurous - who want some adrenaline - hire something appropriate like a Ducati - do a google for ducati tours...and do some exploring on those terrific tuscan roads using Il Mulinaccio as your base and ideal luxurious venue for sampling some of the glorious wine from the local vineyards.
