Tosco's word
Villa Acquaviva Wine Resort, at €388, targets those who want a real wine estate with an evening restaurant and house wine, even if its comfort remains vague. Le Chicche di Mafalda, at €215, attracts tighter budgets or small groups, with its goat cheeses and Cinta Senese cured meats, but no dinner is guaranteed. Traveler ratings are close, 9.0 versus 9.3, so choose according to whether you crave a gourmet table or farm-based terroir, both being in Montemerano.
