Tosco's word
In terms of the Note Toscane Cachée rating, Alba sul Mare edges ahead of Casa La Marinella (7.1 to 6.9), mainly thanks to better-documented comfort: Wi-Fi, air conditioning, free private parking and a private bathroom, with a sea view and a quiet setting in Porto Ercole. Choose it if you're traveling as a couple and value tranquility and amenities. Casa La Marinella sul Porto, for its part, relies on its location (8.2), a few minutes' walk from the center of Porto Santo Stefano, with two apartments for six people and pets accepted: it suits a small group that wants to be at the heart of the harbor life better.
