Tosco's word
On price, Albergo Di Murlo is cheaper (278 € versus 315 €) and offers a pool, restaurant and breakfast included, so it suits better those who want a complete stay without adding anything. Isola Delle Api, on the other hand, wins on integration into the setting: a restored old building, only three bedrooms, ideal for a couple seeking the calm of the Tuscan countryside. Be aware, however, that its value for money is weak since breakfast and air conditioning are not mentioned, and the traveler ratings are close on both sides (8.9/10 for each).
