Tosco's word
The first point of difference is the Hidden Tuscany rating: 7.6 for Agriturismo Bio Le Macchie Alte against 7.1 for Il Melograno Country House, and the gap comes down mostly to the table and authenticity, with a real 420-hectare organic estate and a restaurant that cooks its own produce. Agriturismo Bio Le Macchie Alte suits those who want immersion in a working farm, at the table as well as in the setting, though the price is not stated. Il Melograno Country House, from €150 per night in the mid-range, appeals more to those looking for a renovated old farmhouse with a pool and hill views, accepting that no documented meals are offered.
