Fattoria Settemerli

Character of the place - real Tuscanny look

Many of the things advertised under overview and availability were either very much exaggerated or non-existant.

Daniella Not close to the center. Walk to road to get bus too long. Bus ride at least 1/2 hour to center. Owner very moody, not welcoming, complained that light was on, for which was needed no to fall down fight of steps. House kept very very dark. No one around if you need something all gone by 6. The one and only horse looks like he is dying. Your are gated in. The room was dusty, moldy and filled with mosquitoes. What you see is not what you get....

We liked being out in the country, the views and the helpful staff. We also like all the old artefacts and the antiques. It had a great informal atmosphere and we were able to make coffees at night in the kitchen. Some of the plaster was coming off the wall, probably due to damp and we would have preferred adjoining rooms.

The B&B is in the Tuscany country side. This B&B is quite far from Florence center 3/4 hour minimum.Once you get to gate there is 1/2 mi walk up hill on gravel to the B&B. Don't bother unless you have a car.

Very helpful staff. Nice rooms filled with antique. Quiet place. Easy access to Florence. Poor breakfast.
