Tosco's word
Agriturismo Merano's traveler rating is higher, 9.4 versus 9.1, with more reviews, but it offers neither a restaurant nor a pool, only apartments with kitchen, air conditioning and bikes. Fattoria Il Duchesco will appeal to you if you want a 10-hectare organic estate with three pools, a Tuscan restaurant and estate wine, but its value for money is unclear. In short, choose Merano for independence with family or a small group, Duchesco for the full experience with dining and relaxation, the two remaining tied on the unknown rate.
