Tosco's word
Villa Bel Giardino clearly outscores on the Toscane Cachée Rating (7.9 against 7.0), thanks to its integration into the landscape (8.6: an 11th-century former church on a 1,000 m² garden) and its comfort (8.4: private pool, air conditioning, eight beds). It suits a group of eight people who want a pool and don't mind driving, since the supermarket is 10 km away. Da nonna Maffy, at €200 for four people with a score of 7.0, is aimed more at a small group that wants to be quiet near Caldana.
