The verdict
La Querce and Palazzo Palloni: Piano Nobile neck and neck
8,1 versus 8,1: 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…
- a building over 500 years old carefully restored, with equipped kitchen, garden and mountain views, 5 minutes on foot from the center

Choose Fonteliving if…
- you care about piscine: the only listing in the head-to-head to mention it

Its weak point in this head-to-head: intégration dans l'environnement (7,7). A former 1930s inn renovated in terracotta and natural wood, at the entrance to the old village; small property of nine rooms.

- you prioritise intégration dans l'environnement (8,6 vs 7,9) : Renovated 18th-century palazzo in the historic center of Sorano, with local architecture preserved.
