We will be in Rome in May 2010. We would like to visit Tuscany for four nights. Can anyone recommend a nice B&B in Siena, Pienza or Montepulciano
for 140 euro per night? Thanks bxl

Do you plan to stay one night in each?

kybourbon,
we will plan to stay four nights in one location.

Here are several options--I would add Le Traverse outside of Pienza. I like the San Quirico location for day trips:

Do you want to be in town where you can walk back from dinner?

I think Pienza has a nice selection of B&B's, is easy to drive in and out for day trips and has a nice selection of restaurants for dinner. This website has links for Pienza B&B's, hotels, restaurants with actual contact info directly to the property (not through a booking agent). Most of these also have websites, but you will probably have to google the name to get the actual website.

I booked this last minute September 2008 and stayed in the smallest (also cheapest) apartment. I liked the location and garden, but didn't care for the particular apartment (La Serra) I was in as the bedroom was upstairs from everything. The other apartments are set up differently and wouldn't have the upstairs/downstairs issue. I paid about 1/3 of your stated rate booking as a single.

In Siena I can recommend Villa Elda. It is located just outside the walls so it is very easy to find parking. We stayed there for 6 nights and really liked it. WE paid 130 euros a night .

I have always enjoyed my stay at Fonte Bertusi, an agriturismo (serving a great breakfast), just a 5 minute drive outside of Pienza. Each apartment has a covered patio and kitchen. The pool and property are lovely. The location cannot be better.
