The verdict

Cerchio Verde takes the lead

Cerchio Verde scores 8,1/10, ahead of LaSelva (7,4) et Podere La Retomada (6,3). Small restored farm with 4 rooms in Pitigliano, with a pool facing the olive trees, house-made oil and grapes for the local DOCs. Comfort amenities remain sparsely detailed and the rate of €244 per night sits in the upscale range.

Choose Cerchio Verde if…

  • you want the safest value in the duel: best overall score (8,1), level with or ahead on authenticité & cadre, confort & équipements et rapport qualité/prix
  • you prioritise table & terroir (8,1 vs 6,3) : On-site restaurant, breakfast, and cited home-produced goods (extra-virgin olive oil, grapes for the DOC wines); the link between the table and the farm is not detailed.
  • you care about piscine, petit-déjeuner inclus et table d'hôte: amenities that only this listing mentions

Choose LaSelva if…

  • your budget matters: from €102 / night, the lowest price in the head-to-head

Its weak point in this head-to-head: table & terroir (6,3). On-site shop with organic wines and estate products, breakfast ingredients provided and shared kitchen; neither restaurant nor dinner mentioned.

Choose Podere La Retomada if…

  • you trust travellers: 9,5/10 from 49 reviews, the best rating in the head-to-head

Its weak point in this head-to-head: authenticité & cadre (5,8). Opened in 2019, contemporary architecture and no confirmed agricultural activity, even though the view overlooks vineyards: rural setting but no working farm.

Podere La RetomadaOpened in 2019, contemporary architecture and no confirmed agricultural activity, even though the view overlooks vineyards: rural setting but no working farm.

Why these ratings?

Cerchio VerdeAt €244 per night in the upscale range, the offer includes a pool, breakfast and an on-site restaurant, which remains consistent without a markedly superior service for the price.

Podere La RetomadaAt €258 per night in the upscale range, no concrete services are confirmed: the price seems high given the documented offer.
