The verdict

Villa Bel Giardino takes the lead

Villa Bel Giardino scores 7,9/10, ahead of Private Tuscan Villa with Stunning Hill Views (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 has a clear edge on paper: Toscane Cachée rating of 7.9 vs. 7.5, and precisely described facilities (four bedrooms, eight beds, wifi, air conditioning, private pool). It suits a group that wants to split the costs and is willing to drive, since the supermarket is 10 km away. Private Tuscan Villa, on the other hand, will appeal more to a couple looking for the spa, the restaurant and the nearby Petriolo hot springs, though several common amenities are not specified.
