Choose Essence Maremma Toscana - Borgo Magliano Resort if…
- you want the safest value in the duel: best overall score (7,1), level with or ahead on confort & équipements, rapport qualité/prix et intégration dans l'environnement
- you prioritise rapport qualité/prix (7,1 vs 5,1) : At €276 per night, a 4-star with three pools, a restaurant and free parking: the offer remains consistent, without any clearly superior service.
- you prioritise confort & équipements (7,4 vs 6,2) : Three outdoor swimming pools, free parking, restaurant-pizzeria, air conditioning and Wi-Fi: the essentials are mentioned, but rooms and breakfast are not described.
- you care about piscine, restaurant et climatisation: amenities that only this listing mentions
Its weak point in this head-to-head: emplacement (7,2). In the open countryside near Magliano in Toscana, 15 min from the Saturnia thermal baths and 22 km from Pitigliano: peaceful, but nothing within walking distance.
Choose Il Tombolo if…
- you prioritise emplacement (7,9 vs 7,2) : On the Tombolo della Giannella, in the immediate vicinity of the Orbetello lagoon and the Tyrrhenian Sea, a few minutes from Albinia and Orbetello.
- you care about vue mer: the only listing in the head-to-head to mention it
- you trust travellers: 8,5/10 from 117 reviews, the best rating in the head-to-head
Its weak point in this head-to-head: rapport qualité/prix (5,1). At €338 per night, the offer is limited to parking, Wi-Fi, pets allowed and sea view: the price seems high for these services alone.

Tosco's word
On the Essence Maremma Toscana side, the advantage is comfort: three pools, a restaurant, free parking and air conditioning for €276 a night, with a Toscane Cachée score of 7.1 and good reviews (8.3/10 from 1406). Il Tombolo, at €338, stands out for its location (7.9, facing the sea and the lagoon) but is weak on comfort (6.2) and value for money (5.1), with an overall score of 6.6. If you want a pool and quiet in the countryside on a small budget, choose Essence; if the sea view matters most, Il Tombolo, knowing you pay a lot for few amenities.
