The verdict
Relais Valle Orientina and Poggioba neck and neck

- your budget matters: from €140 / night, the lowest price in the head-to-head

Tosco's word
The Toscane Cachée rating of 7.1 versus 6.9 places Relais Valle Orientina slightly ahead, and its 14 rooms with thermal pool, spa and restaurant included justify its €186 if you're looking for real comfort. Poggioba, at €140, offers only breakfast, Wi-Fi and air conditioning in two rooms: ideal for a frugal couple who prefers to save money, but its 6.1 value-for-money rating is penalized. With a traveler rating of 9.5 for Poggioba versus 8.5 for the Relais, the gaps remain slim and the choice depends mostly on how much you want services.
