We have enjoyed almost a week in Maria Grazias charming and comfortable apartment very much. We had an exzellent contact with her both via Email after booking, as well as personally during our stay. The apartment is clean and well equipped. It is located in an ancient house and pleasantly cool during hot days. The reception upon arrival was very affectionate and we were nicely surprised by fresh fruits and sweets which Maria Grazia prepared for us. She provided us with all the useful information (restaurants, grocery, information about fiesta della rificolona...) Our kids (2 and 3 years old) loved to play in the small yard at the front of the house as well as in the apartment where they found a lot of toys to play with. The stairs between the kitchen and the living- and sleeping rooms upstairs weren't a problem for them. There is a playground for children some 400m up the Desiderio Rd. (next to the cemetery and school), which we in fact enjoyed every day. The playground is well equipped with a spacious grassland, olive- and pine-trees inside. Settignano is a very nice small town, not overcrowded by the tourists, located up the hill over Florence. There is a convenient bus connection from there to Florence but we used our car. Driving distance to Florence is about 10-15 min. We highly recommend Maria Grazias apartment to anyone who is looking for a nice apartment in a quiet surroundings with a Tuscany charm.
