Tosco's word
Mar D'Amare takes the top Toscana Cachée Score with 7.3 against 7.2 for La Bruna, and it clearly wins on comfort (8.6 against 7.7) with a pool, a restaurant and direct sea access, which appeals to anyone who wants a complete 4-star stay. La Bruna, for its part, has 222 traveler reviews at 8.5/10 and apartments with a fully equipped kitchen, ideal for a family or a long stay where you want to cook. The price is missing from both listings, so value for money doesn't decide it.
