We had a fantastic stay in Settignano, which we found to be as special as Luca had described. The room is small, but tastefully decorated, as is the adjoining bathroom. Visiting Italy in August was destined to be hot, and though the room is not air-conditioned, we managed to stay relatively cool. We found the 20min bus commute into Florence simple and also enjoyed our time exploring the gorgeous countryside around Settignano, with Luca's list of recommendations for walks and restaurants very useful. Absolutely recommended as a place to enjoy Florence and its surrounds one step removed from the tourist jam.
