So many q's for budget help on the forum, so here is what we spent on our 8 GREAT days in Tuscany and Assisi this past November: 8 nights in monasteries and convents: averaged 65 E a night including 50E booking fee to monasterystays.com Car: 8 days, 207Pounds(booked through expedia.co.uk) plus added insurance of 135E for the 8 days 2 splurgesLaBucaccia in Cortona(Tuscan steak (800grams! I did eat the whole thing)) dinner for 2 100E and the Verrazzano winery near Chianti(verrazzano.com) also 100E for 2it was a spectacular 3.5 hour feast, tour, and wine tasting rolled into onedon't miss if you can. We spent 166E a day EXCLUDING the convents, but including gas, food, gifts, and splurges. Used ATM's to pay cash everywhere. Most dinners were around 40E daily including winewe found a terrific family-style Umbrian restaurant called La Stalla about a mile outside the Cappucian(sp) gate in Assisi, and we were the only Americans there-you share a long table and the food, wine, and company was super.
Hope this helps.
