Tosco's word
If you want a table d'hôte with a restaurant and estate wine for a dinner on site, choose Agriturismo Il Poggiolo, cheaper at €216 and better rated for value for money. If your pleasure comes first from other travelers' reviews and a precise rural setting, with eight rooms and a garden 1.8 km from Montemerano, Agriturismo La Vecchia Quercia will appeal to you, despite its €234 and less detailed services. The travelers' rating for the latter is excellent (9.3/10 from 162 reviews), but its listing remains vague about the pool and air conditioning; it's up to you whether you prefer precise amenities or the reputation of the hosts.
