Tosco's word

Borgo Degli Ulivi wins on the Hidden Tuscany Score, 8.0 versus 7.6, thanks to much more complete comfort & amenities (8.6 versus 8.1) and confirmed air conditioning, whereas Colle Cavalieri leaves it unspecified. It suits those who want a pool, spa and on-site restaurant, with a committed budget of €589 a night. Colle Cavalieri, at €462, appeals more to those who prefer a renovated farmhouse apartment as a base for exploring Maremma.
