I cannot rate this property highly enough. Lisa was very communicative and welcoming both on and before my arrival and she and her partner were kind enough to assist with my luggage. The apartment has recently been renovated so everything is new, works well and has been done with taste. The dishwasher was a nice bonus. I thought it was good value for money. For me, what really makes this property special is the location. From one side of this apartment, the living room and kitchen look towards the famous Villa Gamberaia, set in the loveliest landscape imaginable, while from the terrace above you can sip an aperitivo while enjoying the sun set over a sweeping view of Florence framed by elegant villas. Settignano is an oasis of calm away from the city's crowds but there is a regular bus service from the square near the apartment which will virtually take you to the doorstep of the museum containing Michelangelo's David in less than half an hour.
