If I were coming back to Settignano, I would stay here again in a heartbeat. Maria Grazia and Vincenzo were very kind and helpful hosts. The apartment was clean, the shower had lots of hot water, the kitchen has everything you need to fix meals, including a refrigerator underneath the stove. The bed is comfortable and the bedroom very quiet at night. And! if you like Italian comics, the living room has a large stack of fumetti.
Apart from the accommodation itself, Settignano is a great place to stay. It's away from the bustle and noise of the center of Florence. If there are any tourists here, they are disguised as Italians. It's a 20 minute bus ride on the #10 bus to get to San Marco, where you can find other buses. If you want some quick groceries, a former Sandinista runs a small deli on the square. If you don't speak Italian, you can talk to her in Spanish. If you want a more extensive line of groceries, there is a Coop about ten minutes away with the #!0 bus, very well equipped. If you go to mass at the local church, the choir is outstanding. Friends or relatives of the Benedictine College students at the Villa Morghen should consider Maria Grazia's place as it is about a ten-minute walk from there to the Villa Morghen.
