Tosco's word
Saturnia Residence clearly wins: Note Toscane Cachée score of 7.6 versus 6.5, better comfort (private terrace, breakfast and parking included) and a much more carefully designed integration into the Tuscan countryside. If you are traveling as a couple and want to be ten minutes from the Saturnia thermal baths, this is the one you need, even though it costs €179 per night. Case Ballerini, at €154, is only worth it if you're looking for simple accommodation in the center of Manciano, within walking distance, and don't need much inside.
