Agriturismo Il Poggiolo and Agriturismo Le Chicche di Mafalda neck and neck
7,7 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.

- you prioritise confort & équipements (7,2 vs 6,8) : Pool, breakfast, parking, wifi and restaurant mentioned, but no description of the rooms, bedding or bathrooms.
- you care about piscine, petit-déjeuner inclus et parking: amenities that only this listing mentions

Tosco's word
Le Chicche di Mafalda is more reliable, with a traveler rating of 9.3 out of 352 reviews, and its strong point is the certainty of the terroir, between goat cheeses and Cinta Senese cured meats. Il Poggiolo, at €216, relies more on a spectacular setting, a 16th-century casale with 360° views, a pool and estate wine, but its rooms remain entirely vague. If you favor the experience of an active farm with more firsthand feedback, choose Mafalda; if the postcard view and the table d'hôte appeal to you despite the undescribed comfort, go for Il Poggiolo.
