Tosco's word
La casa di Elba e Mario clearly wins on the Toscane Cachée rating: 7.4 vs 7.0, with comfort at 8.3 vs 7.9 and location at 8.1 vs 7.4, and Cala Piccola is 5 minutes on foot. It suits those who want the sea without a car for the beach. Casa con vista mare - Zanara only wins on guest reviews and number of bedrooms, three vs two, so it's the one to favour for a group settling in somewhere quiet, 1.5 km from Cala dell'Olio.
