The verdict
Villa Bel Giardino takes the lead
Villa Bel Giardino scores 7,9/10, ahead of Hotel Vatluna (7,5). 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.

Tosco's word
Villa Bel Giardino, at €207 for eight people with a private pool and four bedrooms, stands out for a group that wants independence and calm, even though the supermarket is 10 km away and Montalcino 35 km. Hotel Vatluna, at €254 a night, suits a couple or small family who prefer the center of Vetulonia, its spa and its more reliable reviews (8.6 out of 430 reviews versus 9.3 out of only 14). The villa's Toscane Cachée rating (7.9 versus 7.5) and its value for money make it the choice for large groups; the hotel remains a safe option for anyone who wants everything on site without a car.
