Rental Car
This site will give you a good amount of choices of rental cars to choose from and is often less than going directly to rental car agencies but price compare. It is wise to get the insurance in Europe. Small is better! If you have not experienced Europe driving/parking, small cars are king and practice up on your parallel parking! Manual (stick shift) rentals are usually less and are more common so watch that if you need an automatic.

House Or Rental
We stayed in one of the villas that is part of Castello di Montozzi when we did our venue recon. They have two villas and a number of apartments of various sizes. All rentable through Airbnb. They are beautiful, build around the 11th century, on a wine and olive farm. This would be a great choice for those staying four plus nights. They do not do shorter stays.
