Hotels - Rome & Florence

[TTB]

Following a previous post I made about 2 weeks in Italy we have decided on 3 nights in Rome, train to Florence for 3 nights and then 7 or 8 nights in a Villa in Tuscany somewhere around Siena.
Now, both cities have an absolute multitude of hotels and I have no idea where to stay in either. Obviously we want somewhere reasonably central but we are not averse to a short walk to avoid the main tourist traps and therefore increased prices. Must haves are 4 star hotel, B&B but close to decent restaurants. Walkable to the main sites as we will not have a car in the cities.
Ideally £2-300 per night max but less is ideal

Any recommendations of either best areas to stay or actual hotels? We're happy to look at airbnb as well.
