Dilemma-issimo

Even though I'm taking Italian lessons every Saturday morning, I still speak Italian by putting "issimo" at the end of every word ... and say it with an accent. Totally sounds authentic!

Any-who

There's two place we want to stay in Tuscany ... one is in Greve in Chianti, called Villa Vignamaggio - link here -   and this other place in Montalcino called (fittingly) Vecchi Olivieri - link here . Now, we have 4 nights to spend in Tuscany and we were hoping to do some day or 1/2 day trips.

So, here's the dilemma: Spend 2 nights in one and 2 nights in the other ... or is that going to be too much travelling? Decisions Decisions ... Each region has their own wines and their own specialty foods, so it would be nice to experience as much as possible ... BUT ... we're wondering if it's going to be too much running around.

The pictures of these places make it friggen hard to decide on only one!!
