Borgo Degli Ulivi takes the lead
Borgo Degli Ulivi scores 8,0/10, ahead of Argentario Lagoon Resort & Spa (7,4). Hamlet of independent villas renovated in 2017 in a pine forest, with pool, spa and views of the Gulf of Ansedonia, 5 minutes by car from Porto Ercole. Drawback: 589 € per night and no sites accessible on foot.

Tosco's word
Borgo Degli Ulivi wins on comfort thanks to its villas renovated in 2017, described in detail, and its traveler rating of 9.4 from 73 reviews, versus 8.9 for Argentario Lagoon Resort & Spa whose rooms remain vague. At €589 vs. €662, the first is also gentler on the budget, while offering spa, pool and sea view. If you want an intimate 5-star with 18 rooms between the two towns, Argentario Lagoon will suit you, but its average reliability and undescribed building leave a doubt that Borgo Degli Ulivi dispels.
