The verdict
Agriturismo Palazzi Del Papa and Podere Spedalone neck and neck
7,4 versus 7,2: 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 Podere Spedalone if…
- you care about petit-déjeuner inclus et table d'hôte: amenities that only this listing mentions
Its weak point in this head-to-head: rapport qualité/prix (6,6). At €642 per night, the known offer is limited to the pool, included breakfast and restaurant: few details to judge this price.

Tosco's word
The price gap is steep: Podere Spedalone charges €642 a night, a luxury rate that is justified neither by its comfort (rating 6.7) nor by its value for money (6.6), despite its 14th-century farmhouse and its 33 hectares. Agriturismo Palazzi Del Papa, in the mid-range, offers a swimming pool, a farm restaurant and an authentic setting with more balanced ratings, even though its 5 reviews carry little weight. If your budget is tight and you want the essentials, choose Palazzi Del Papa; if you're after the grand experience of a vast historic estate and price is no object, Spedalone awaits you, but with no guarantee of the luxury promised.
