I used the same strategy to save up on hotel expenses using Euro Rails. I used overnight trains between Italy-Switzerland, Switzerland-France, France-Spain. My wife and I booked a cabin to ourselves for the journey and I had a pleasant experience. I used Frecciarosa and TGV trains for some those trips. Buying the train tickets and finding the platforms in Italy was a bit tricky as nothing was in English but i think you can buy them all at once at the beginning of the trip where ever you start from.The downside is you miss the view of the countryside and feel a bit wobbly once you get off from the train lol!
I paid about $582 each for Select Euro Rail Pass (4 Countries) if my memory serves me right.
