Have you checked out the eurail train passes? A select saver pass with 5 days of train travel and covering three countries (italy, France, Spain) is about $360 per person.

I second tripadvisor for good reviews about places to stay. Their forums also often have some people very willing to give good advice. When i was trying to get to a particular castle in Germany without a car the hotel told us it was not possible and we would need to get a taxi (very expensive), a trip advisor “local expert” gave us exact instructions on how to get there by train and a wonderful walk through a forest. One of the best (and cheapest) days of our visit.
