The verdict

Animrus and Casetta di Ghino neck and neck

7,8 versus 7,6: the gap is too small to separate them on the overall rating. The choice comes down to the criteria that matter to you, below.

Choose Animrus if…

  • your budget matters: from €121 / night, the lowest price in the head-to-head

Choose Casetta di Ghino if…

  • holiday home with equipped kitchen, washing machine and Italian breakfast, 0.5 km from the Musseum del Cassero and 1 km from the Radicofani fortress

Choose Fonteliving if…

  • you trust travellers: 9,7/10 from 323 reviews, the best rating in the head-to-head
