Tosco's word
Casa Aurora clearly beats the Note Toscane Cachée: 7.8 versus 7.3, with a more solid location and integration into the historic buildings. At €114 a night, it suits those who want the center without spending much, while La taverna sotto la torre, at €164, is aimed mainly at a 45 m² apartment for three people, with parking, and its value-for-money score (6.4) doesn't work in its favor.
