Vacation accommodations and wine in Tuscany

Here we provide some links to web pages that give brief but useful information on sights that can be visted when using Greve in Chianti as your vacation base. All of the sights in Tuscany are easily reached by car, some in less than half an hour, others during the course of a one day excursion. The sights in Umbria are mostly a long one day trip, but still practical if you start off at a reasonably early hour in the morning.
