Tosco's word
Casa Mater Ecclesiae wins for those who want to sleep in the heart of Massa Marittima, 450 m from the historic center and near the cathedral, for €130 with breakfast and free parking. Palazzo Vittoria, at €192, suits those looking for a pool, spa and air conditioning, but it is 3.4 km from the center, so avoid it without a car. On the Note Toscane Cachée, location and integration into the historic fabric clearly favor Casa Mater Ecclesiae.
