We stayed in this hotel while were spending a few days sightseeing around toscany. Well, it is true that the breakfast is a little poor and you obviously need a car to stay there. The rooms are not very lush but they have beautiful colours and decorations. However whatever little flaws are more than adequately made up for from the warm and welcoming staff, the amazing views of the surroundings, the beautiful garden with the gazebo, the quiet environment. This is the place to be for a romantic getaway.

A perfect representation of Tuscan architecture and style. This farmhouse is bound to impress you from the very first moment you arrive. It is a home away from home.Staff is super friendly with special kudos to Danielle who nursed my wife's sprained leg diligently and with such affection. We were on our honeymoon and wanted to relax and rewind at a quite place before we hit the wilderness of Roma. Fattoria Settemerli met all those expectations and much more. Yes, you do need a scooter or a car to travel to and fro to make your life easier. But also on the other hand to experience a real traditional Tuscan farmhouse you have to set base in the countryside. So all you readers, please ignore all the negative comments from in experienced travellers looking for a B&B or hotel room experience. This is a farmhouse! So cop on! Its top class.

This place was simply beautiful. A restored 12th century farmhouse located on the outskirts of Florence with very pretty themed rooms (ours was a frog theme with even a bottle opener shaped like a frog). The people who own the place were extremely nice and cordial (not to forget the house parrot) and the breakfast menu was a delicious assortment of fresh farm produce. The surroundings are supposed to be a beautiful trek in itself but the weather during our trip did not offer us this opportunity.

If you are travelling with a heavy backpack please ensure that you notify the people in advance of your arrival timings for them to pick u up as it is quite a walk from the bus stop to the farmhouse. Frequency of buses from Florence is a bit of a problem. And in winter the area is going to be chillier than the rest of Florence, so go prepared.

In all, the place's a scenic beauty & a definite must for a romantic trip.

we have recently returned from a world trip and tuscany is one of the wonderful places we visited and what made it a highlight was staying at fattoria settemerli it makes me so sad reading some of the previous reviews how anyone can say any thing bad about this place amazes me.From the moment we arrived (we had a car which i would recommend travelling through tuscany),we were welcomed by the beautiful owner connie she showed us to our room we had a choice of two rooms one better than the other they were decorated so beautiful ,very clean ,with lots of special touches and a gorgeous bath room the aircondition was so welcoming as it was hot,this lady was so helpful and helped us in every way she can and when she wasnt there barbara her helper was so so wonderful and kind,we love the tranquility ,the garden ,dining room and everything about this beautiful farm house, these people were so beautiful that there were another 3 couples staying there celebrating birthdays and connie and barbara cooked up a feast for them and two days later another feast which we were included and it was beautiful italian food .has for location its a great place to stay just out of florence which is easy to get to by bus only 20 min we even just went there just for dinner. and easy to get to all the other lovely tuscany towns like sienna ,san gimanio lucca etc .i would definatly recomend this piece of paradise.thankyou so much connie and your beautiful little girl viola and babara for a wonderful experience,you deserve the best good luck
