Tosco's word
Santa Monaca beats Toscane Cachée's score (7.8 versus 7.5), thanks to better-rated integration of the old building (8.7) and more complete facilities: air conditioning, an equipped kitchen and parking. It is also a 1-minute walk from the Fortezza Orsini, for €270 per night. Casa Messi, at €231, suits those who want to sleep in the heart of the historic center on a tighter budget, but it offers fewer amenities, with no air conditioning mentioned, and its high guest rating (8.9 out of 10 from 338 reviews) doesn't make up for everything.
