The verdict

FicOlivo and La Locanda di Petriolo neck and neck

7,7 versus 7,7: 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 FicOlivo if…

  • you trust travellers: 9,2/10 from 564 reviews, the best rating in the head-to-head

Its weak point in this head-to-head: rapport qualité/prix (6,9). At €184 per night, breakfast, pool, parking and Wi-Fi included: the offer is consistent, with no amenity clearly above the price noted.

Choose La Locanda di Petriolo if…

  • you prioritise rapport qualité/prix (7,9 vs 6,9) : At €90 per night, breakfast included, with a pool, restaurant, spa and privileged access to the thermal baths: amenities that exceed the price.
  • you prioritise intégration dans l'environnement (7,7 vs 7,1) : A small seven-room inn with exposed beam ceilings, facing the ruins of the city walls and the Merse valley.
  • you care about restaurant, spa et vue sur les collines: amenities that only this listing mentions

Tosco's word

Price settles it first: FicOlivo costs €184 a night against €90 for La Locanda di Petriolo, which also earns the best Toscane Cachée rating for value for money (7.9 against 6.9). If you want a pool, breakfast and air conditioning without worrying about budget, FicOlivo, 4 km from Pitigliano, remains a very good choice with its guest rating of 9.2. For a tighter budget and a genuine locanda atmosphere with thermal baths and spa, La Locanda di Petriolo is the best bet, even though air conditioning is not mentioned.
