I have not taken a holiday in ages and wanted to take 3 weeks off in
August/September and do a European country. The choices right now are Italy,
Greece and Spain.

Any suggestions? I had planned on renting a car and driving around rather
than jumping on an organized tour. Any recommendations?

Forget the Mediterranean, you ought to visit Scotland.
I once took a motorbike trip for a month there, just me and the bike.
The best vacation I've ever had! No nagging wife, kids or
co-travelers! :-)
