buona Italia ..... > http://www.lifeinitaly.it/italiasegreta/Italia_Segreta.htm 

Although I'm sure it's great information Ugo, that's a lot of site to read!Kasey, for 2-3 weeks you are looking at holiday/vacation accommodation. You cannot buy a car (or likely lease) in Italy without being resident. That leaves hire which we have found quite expensive in Italy compared to other European countries, especially the UK. Anyway I would look at one of the bigger companies, perhaps Hertz or Avis and look to book from the US if that's where you are from? you would want to look at. I only picked on this as we stayed there many years ago and know the place was superb. But it’s more to give you an idea of what type of accommodation is available. To be honest there is numerous accommodation like this throughout Italy and it’s more of a case of deciding where you want to go and them looking on the likes of Tripadvisor or do a web search on “italy self catering” to get many, many companies. Note at that time of year car hire and accommodation is peak time and availability can be a big problem, so booking early might be a good idea. Enjoy!

If you are non-EU, check out Renault and Peugot up to six month lease programs. The Lunigiana area, where we live, is well located for some of the things you mention. Cinque Terra, Pisa, Parma, beaches, all within a couple of hours drive or less. Florence, Bologna, a little longer. Good luck and have a good time. 

Thank you for your responses.i should have mentioned we plan to travel through Italy for approximately 2-3 months. Initial destination Tuscany. 

Still the same from me Kasey, except you might want to check out what Campanile has said regards car lease as if possible in Italy (or even elsewhere in the EU) it might work out a better deal... Enjoy!

You say you would like to travel throughout Europe over 5-6 months spending 2-3 months in Tuscany. You will need to note that you can not stay longer than 90 days within the Schengen countries. Once your 90 days is expired, you must leave the schengen areas for another 90 days before returning. I would read up on all this beforehand.
