Tosco's word
Borgo Degli Ulivi beats the Note Toscane Cachée (8.0 vs. 7.5), notably thanks to comfort (8.6 vs. 7.2): pool, air conditioning, Wi-Fi, free parking and equipped kitchens are all detailed, which is not the case for the rooms at Cala Piccola. Choose it if you want a hamlet of villas with all comfort rated and you can afford €589 a night, keeping in mind that the beach is 5 minutes away by car. The Boutique Hotel Torre Di Cala Piccola, at €501, suits those who prefer a scattered hotel on the coast, with a sea view and two restaurants.
