Tosco's word
Borgo Degli Ulivi has the better Toscane Cachée score (8.0 vs. 7.8), notably thanks to its full range of comforts: a pool, spa, air conditioning and equipped kitchens in villas renovated in 2017. You will need to take the car to the beach and the villages, though, and pay €589 a night, compared with €391 for Villa Preselle Country Resort, a 19th-century villa among the olive trees, with a seasonal pool and breakfast included, ideal if you want the Tuscan countryside rather than high-end comfort. That last point comes down to 2 or 4 people and your budget.
