Tosco's word
Price decides it: San Ottaviano costs €391 a night against €218 for Hotiday, but it offers what the other doesn't, a restaurant and a table that comes from its own farm (beef, honey, oil, vegetables), with a Note Toscane Cachée of 7.4 against 6.4. Choose San Ottaviano if you want to dine on site and taste the local produce, as a couple or for a special occasion. Hotiday Grosseto Podere, with its pool and free parking, suits anyone looking for a rural setting on a small budget.
