Tosco's word
Hotel Della Fortezza takes the Note Toscane Cachée with 7.8 versus 7.3 for Locanda Della Taverna Etrusca, with a more pronounced heritage (the Orsini Fortress) and much more solid reviews (2003 versus 0). But it costs 233 € a night, with the price not specified for the locanda, so it's impossible to say which is the better budget choice. If you want a 3-star hotel firmly rooted in heritage, choose the first; for a budget to be checked and a village atmosphere, the locanda may suit you.
