Tosco's word

On ratings, La Torre takes the lead with 8.1 against 7.7, mainly thanks to full comfort (air conditioning, minibar, private bathroom) and a location 200 m from the Fonte Verde Spa Centre, handy if you don't want to drive. La Locanda di Petriolo, on the other hand, will appeal to you if you're looking for calm and a small locanda with seven rooms featuring exposed beams, with a spa and access to the thermal baths, but air conditioning is not mentioned. For a comparable budget, at €89 versus €90, La Torre is the choice for comfort and proximity to the village, and Petriolo for atmosphere and the spa.
