The verdict
Taverna di Mozart takes the lead
Taverna di Mozart scores 8,8/10, ahead of Poderaccio Di Bolsena (7,6) et Holiday (7,5). In Castiglione d'Orcia, Taverna di Mozart serves Tuscan cuisine with pici, Cinta senese and pecorino di Pienza, and a view over the Val d'Orcia. Drawback: €45 per person in the upper range and access via an unpaved road.
Choose Holiday if…

- your budget matters: from €30 / pers., the lowest price in the head-to-head
