Tosco's word
Santa Monaca comes out ahead of the Note Toscane Cachée (7.8 vs. 7.4), especially for location (8.1 vs. 7.6): the Fortezza Orsini is a 1-minute walk away, with air conditioning, parking, and a equipped kitchen, but at €270 a night. Il Carisma, at €220, is better suited to a small group of 4 who want breakfast included, without A/C or parking, in an apartment in the heart of the old town.
