The verdict

Hotel Della Fortezza and Locanda 3848 neck and neck

7,8 versus 7,7: 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 Hotel Della Fortezza if…

  • you prioritise intégration dans l'environnement (8,7 vs 7,5) : The hotel occupies the Orsini Fortress, within the historic center of Sorano: a remarkable heritage building, consistent with the local landscape.
  • you care about parking, animaux acceptés et restaurant: amenities that only this listing mentions
  • you trust travellers: 9,2/10 from 2003 reviews, the best rating in the head-to-head

Its weak point in this head-to-head: emplacement (7,8). Located in the historic center of Sorano, 6.4 km from Pitigliano and 15 min from the Saturnia thermal baths: a precise base for exploring.

Choose Locanda 3848 if…

  • you prioritise emplacement (8,3 vs 7,8) : 0.3 km from the center of Pitigliano, right in the historic center, and 23 km from the Saturnia hot springs: village on foot, hot springs by car.
  • you prioritise confort & équipements (7,4 vs 6,9) : Air-conditioned double rooms with private bathroom, television, kettle, free wifi, heating and breakfast included; no pool or parking included.
  • you care about climatisation: the only listing in the head-to-head to mention it
  • your budget matters: from €188 / night, the lowest price in the head-to-head

Its weak point in this head-to-head: intégration dans l'environnement (7,5). Small guest house in the historic center of Pitigliano, Via Santa Chiara, with a panoramic terrace: small capacity integrated into the ancient buildings.
