The verdict

Casa Aurora and Hotel Week End neck and neck

Tosco's word

On price, Casa Aurora shows €114 a night, while the rate for Hotel Week End is not indicated, which makes the comparison impossible on that point. If you're looking for the historic center of Massa Marittima, with its view over the Gulf of Follonica and a renovated house, Casa Aurora is the fitting choice, with a Toscane Cachée rating of 7.8 versus 7.7. If you want a well-equipped hotel with breakfast, a suite with a terrace and the sea a few steps away, it's rather Hotel Week End in Porto Ercole, but you'll need to check the price before deciding.

Tosco only cites facts from this head-to-head: ratings, criteria, prices, amenities. Text calculated once, checked by the code.
