The verdict
Villa Bel Giardino takes the lead
Villa Bel Giardino scores 7,9/10, ahead of Colle Cavalieri - Country House (7,6). Former 11th-century church perched on a hill, with a private swimming pool, four bedrooms for eight people and a 1,000 m² fenced garden. The supermarket is 10 km away and Montalcino 35 km away, so a car is essential.
Choose Colle Cavalieri - Country House if…
- you care about spa: the only listing in the head-to-head to mention it
- you trust travellers: 9,3/10 from 83 reviews, the best rating in the head-to-head
Its weak point in this head-to-head: rapport qualité/prix (6,1). At €462 per night, the apartment offers a pool, spa and kitchenette, but no amenity clearly justifies this high rate for the Maremma.

Tosco's word
Price makes the difference: Villa Bel Giardino, at €207 a night for eight people with a private pool and four bedrooms, suits a group that wants to share a large property, with a Toscane Cachée score of 7.9 and a building from the former 11th-century church well integrated into the landscape (8.6). La Colle Cavalieri, at €462, has a slightly lower Toscane Cachée score (7.6) and a value-for-money rating judged weak (6.1), but its guest reviews are clearly better (9.3 out of 83 reviews): it is aimed at a couple or at those who accept paying more for the spa and apartment, knowing that Villa Bel Giardino is still 10 km from the supermarket.
