The verdict
Villa Bel Giardino takes the lead
Villa Bel Giardino scores 7,9/10, ahead of Hotel Vatluna (7,5) et Casa maride (7,0). Former 11th-century church perched on a hill, with a private swimming pool, four bedrooms for eight people and a 1,000 m² fenced garden. The supermarket is 10 km away and Montalcino 35 km away, so a car is essential.
