- you prioritise rapport qualité/prix (6,8 vs 6,3) : At €286 per night in the upper range, pool and breakfast included: a consistent rate, but few details given to judge the whole.

Tosco's word
At €286 versus €226, Selvella justifies its gap with a more pronounced authenticity (8.2 versus 7.3) and exceptional traveler reviews (9.7 out of 92 reviews, in the top 4% of the catalog), while Pietreta, less expensive, offers more concrete comfort with its 6x12 m panoramic pool and free parking, but without breakfast or meals. For you, if you want the charm of an organic farming hamlet on 78 hectares and a solid reputation, choose Selvella; for a tighter budget, a practical base with pool and car, Pietreta. Both remain upscale and without an on-site restaurant, so the gap is slight in substance, but Selvella dominates on setting and review reliability.
