I stayed at this Agritourismo hotel during a motorcycle tour of Europe, as we needed a base close to the location of the Motorcycle GP, 20 km's away. For anybody wanting to stay near to the city of Florence without the hustle & bustle of a major city, this location is perfect. In fact, sitting in the garden outside the rooms is so peaceful; you could almost believe you are 20 km’s from the city.
The accommodation itself is very rustic & traditional, more than acceptable but could not be classed as luxury; however that is borne out by the price, which is outstanding value for the proximity to the city. Once checked in, you are almost left alone, however upon arrival, one of the hosts did prepare a plate of mixed crostini’s and a local bottle of wine for us, which was exactly what we needed after our long journey. Whilst the car parking facilities are located away from the main building, the hosts did allow us to park our motorcycles close to our room, which was in a smaller annex from the main building.
Breakfast was served at a large shared table in the main building and was typical continental, however a word of caution, we asked the start time for breakfast and was told 8:30, only to find that on Sunday that time is significantly later.
The hosts provided us with 2 restaurant recommendations, the first a simple Pizza restaurant in the local village square which turned out to be a real hidden gem, with a lovely eating area in the garden at the back, the second was a typical Tuscan kitchen restaurant that specialises in the local steak speciality “Bisteca Fiorentina”. This restaurant was a 10 minute car journey away south of the hotel, but well worth the journey. Both restaurants did not suffer the usual Florence tourist price mark ups and were excellent value.
Overall, if you want to be away from it all in the city of Florence, and have your own transport, this accommodation has a lot going for it, as long as you don’t expect the last word in luxury, but are happy for the simple charms of Traditional Tuscany.

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.
