Tosco's word
Antica Dimora clearly beats the Tuscan Hidden Gem Score: 7.9 against 7.0, with fuller comfort (renovated rooms, buffet breakfast, 8.1 out of 10) and a location right in the historic center of Orbetello, 5 min on foot from the Spanish Mill. It suits couples or travelers who want to be in the heart of the town and enjoy a renovated historic building. Casa di Frilli, for its part, only suits those looking for a 60 m² apartment for 4 people, with a kitchen and beach less than 1 km away, provided they accept being 3 km from the center of Porto Santo Stefano.
