Italy - Looking for Venice and Tuscany Pkg

Not sure if this will get removed but couldnt figure out where else to inquire:
My cousin is getting married on November 1st and would like to go to Italy for her honeymoon--primarily Venice and the Tuscany region (perhaps some town on a hill with a villa??).......

Anybody here know of any good packages ? TravelZoo didnt have anything great.....

I'm going to put this in our Italy forum. Please follow it there.

i sort of thought travelzoo specialized in inexpensive packages. i think cheap packages to venice and tuscany sort of suck(polite word).

mediocre or less hotels, sometimes even outside the city, packed busses, not too good food. large guided tours.

on a do it yourselfer, venice is easy for a rookie. hill towns are a problem. no transportation. so do venice and rome. they have to do a bit of homework, but they would have a much better time, and the cost would probably be about the same.

I looked at Venice and there are a million hotels there! Any specific good ones you can suggest?

The flight portion I kinda figured out as they can fly from JFK to Venice on some carriers....
