Tosco's word
The Tuscany Cachée rating of 7.5 versus 7.1 clearly settles it: the Boutique Hotel Torre Di Cala Piccola justifies its €501 with a pool, a spa, two restaurants and a included breakfast, while Stella D'argento, at €468, is limited to parking, wifi and sea view, with nothing else. The first is for those who want a true complex with full services, even 4.3 km from the center; the second, tiny with three rooms, suits a couple seeking absolute calm, backed by its 9.5/10 from 53 very enthusiastic reviews. For a rich and comfortable experience, choose the first; for maximum privacy, the second, but accept the low value for money.
