What can I say? The apartment was excellent. Better than I expected and really well equipped with everything. Maria couldn't have been kinder or more helpful, or her husband who was a treasure. There were also things like salt and black pepper, herbs and spices and olive oil etc that saved us buying. The shower was a double one with a delightful coloured spot that Maria is really proud of.
There is a lovely courtyard table and chairs, ideal for breakfasts or supper etc.
It is perfectly located. Settignano is a fabulous and friendly village set in the hills just outside of Florence. Wandering along the lanes was stunningly beautiful. Restaurants, bars, grocers are all within 2 minutes walk and there is a regular bus service into San Marco which costs about one euro.
One evening Maria invited us to supper at her sisters. Wow, an amazing meal on a rooftop terrace with views to Florence. A very special evening.
We had a fabulous week with Maria and look forward to returning one day. I cannot recommend her more highly. Oh, and we don't speak any Italian and yet we all just muddles along. Brilliant.
Kindest wishes
