The verdict

Hotel Della Fortezza and Zaccheo 9 neck and neck

7,8 versus 7,5: 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 Hotel Della Fortezza if…

  • you prioritise intégration dans l'environnement (8,7 vs 7,4) : The hotel occupies the Orsini Fortress, within the historic center of Sorano: a remarkable heritage building, consistent with the local landscape.
  • you prioritise rapport qualité/prix (6,6 vs 6,3) : At €233 per night, a 3-star with breakfast, parking and restaurant; the heritage setting partly explains the rate, but the offer remains limited.

Choose Zaccheo 9 if…
