Thanks for all the great suggestions.

Has anyone stopped in Greve in Chianti or San Gimignano or, as something altogether different, the designer outlet sites south of Florence?

Cheers,

I have stayed a week in San Gimignano and a week in Radda in Chianti, and visited Greve, and just about every other little town in the Classico area.

San Gimignano is worth a visit as it is unique. The towns of Chianti should be looked at as a base, not a destination. Visit the wineries. Not many restaurants in either area.

That is the opposite of Montalcino. Decent restaurants in town, and tough to find open wineries. Lots of Bars pouring Brunello or Rosa by the glass.
