The Hotel Vecchia Oliviera in Montalcino is a great place to base yourself for exploring this area. The service was phenomenal, the price and location were great, nice breakfast, great back patio for drinking wine in the sun, really recommended for this price range. Day trips from here to Montepulciano, Pienza, S Quirico, Siena, etc were all extremely easy. Our hotel was fantastic setting up winery visits with tours, dinner reservations, you name it. You can easily walk to all the spots in Montalcino. For the price I don't think you'll find a better option in Tuscany if you want to be centrally located as well as walking distance to restaurants, and in a full service hotel. Definitely recommended.
