Tuscany is absolutely the right place for you
We stayed in a beautiful old hotel in the middle of the mountains, 1/2 an hour to the beach if you so wanted, and well placed for day trips to Sienna and other historical towns.

Spend a couple of days in Florence first as it's amazing, make sure you stay on the non central side of the river, better atmousphere, less of a rip off etc.

I think Tuscany
might just be one of those places I'm going to have to visit eventually. Sounds fucking great.

I'll second Ape's suggestion of Florence
Beautiful city. Do be careful not to get ripped-off though.

Florence is beautiful. Less up itself than Rome, and (or so I found) less touristy than Venice.

It´s a good choice, good food, good weather, lovely landscape.
