Very good, the gate was locked when we got there but we called the house and someone came down to meet us straight away.
...
This is a fantastic place to stay - nicely out of the hussle of florence and within walking distance of a couple of great restaurants, the staff are fantastic and its a great Tuscan farm style experience.
...
Valkeria is the onsite staff member and she is a an absolute diamond who goes out of her way to do anything to make your stay as comfortable and memorable as possible.
The fireflys at night are a treat!
...
Perfect spot to explore the region and get a real feel of Tuscany.

Need better signage after you pass the main gate. We got lost and could not figuer out which building it was. We were lucky that we saw someone walking by...who happened to be staying at the farm house, who told us where it is!!!
...
I loved everything about the place!!!
...
Need better directions and signage after the gate!!
...
YES!!

The owners were happy to pick us up from the gate and drive us to the farm house which was about 1/2km from the gate. They even converted the double bed into two single when they realised that i was with my daughter.
...
The staff couldnt be more helpful and attentive. Nothing was to much trouble! We were catered for and to in everyway. Breakfast was an absolute feast and the kettle was always hot!!
...
The owner offered to drive us to the train station in Florence which saved us a lot of time and money. We are extremely thankful for their willingness to help out in any way.
...
Attentive care...nothing is too much trouble!!!
...
Beautiful!!!!! Cozy, delightful, old worlde charm...go and be pampered!!!

it was beautiful and quiet . very relaxing
...
If I can suggest a thing it can be helpful if there is the possibility to have a tea pot in each room ( just to be able to drink some tea or camomilla in case you are not well)

If you are planning on arriving by bus, please know that after reaching the gate (the bus lets you off right in front of it) there is a 10 minute walk up a gravel road to the farm house.

For those without cars, and who enjoy walking, Settemerli is a perfect place to stay outside Florence. It is a beautiful and very historic place full of ancient pieces of art, and run by warm, accommodating hosts and their staff. Our rooms were lovely, romantic, and comfortable. If you're traveling in the summer, the AC is worth it. The small town of Galluzzo is near, and has a great morning market as well as a few good restaurants if you enjoy something not frequented by tourists. Florence is a bus ride away, and is beautiful, but if your plans are to stay at Settemerli so that you can go in to the city each day, don't forget to relax and enjoy the countryside and Fattoria Settemerli as well. It is truly a lovely place.
...
Unexpectedly, our host drove her car around to carry our luggage and myself to the bus stop so that we wouldn't have to carry it ourselves. She graciously offered to drive it into Galluzzo to catch a bus she felt was quicker. Such a kind person!
...
We chose one night to purchase salami, fruit, bread, and wine to eat at Settemerli instead of finding a restaurant. It was our last night and we wanted to enjoy our surroundings. Our hosts accommodated us by bringing out plates and utensils, wine glasses, and setting out citronella candles to make sure the gazebo was comfortable that evening. There's a river near by, so insects to hover.
...
Romantic, lovely, old, rustic, friendly, comfortable, in the country, unexpectedly furnished, interesting, historic, much more than the price suggests.

we arrived from Slovenia (Ljubljana) in 5 hours. We found Fattoria Settemerli in 5 minutes. Our arrival experience: 5 stars !
...
Rennaissance in Tuscany - a wonder. The most beautiful place on the world. Art in Florence and Siena, lovely landscape with unique San Geminiano, etc.. Hi, Fattoria Settemerli is a part of this wonder.
Many stars as a EU flag!
...
Positive: we not expected that Fattoria Settemerli is so good situated, just a few minutes from a highway (Autostrada) and from a centre of Florence. Very good!!
...
A beutiful house, a peaceful place, a lovely countryside and a sign of a reach history everywere. So warm colours (no words).
A heaven !!

The kitchen utensils were a little basic. A coffee maker (or bigger size coffee pot would have been appreciated, maybe a micro wave.... we stuck to pasta and antipasti
we loved the views from our rooms, the lovely atmosphere in the corte appartment , and early morning walks around the premises.

You can purchase their own olie oil. Breakfast includes farm fresh eggs, home-made yogurt, honey made by the monks accross the valley.
An easy walk into the village / market. Very easy to commute to Florence via the ciy bus (10-15 minuntes)
...
Fantastic. A must visit.

We had a birthday there for three people whose birthday was on the same day 31st August and the three said it was the best birthday present ever
so that says a lot for the Settemerli and the owners.
Kind Regards
Barry (one of the birthday boys)
...
Near enough to Firenze to day visit and to the local town to walk to and the quietness of the country.Eating establishments close enough to walk to, no drinking and driving problems.

we booked 2 rooms for 4 people and we noticed every evening what there's not enough hot water for all 4 persons.
...
Good location. Close to the centre (if you have a car). Very quiet. Autentic atmosphere.

I had e-mailed a few days before our arrival to inform them what time to expect us. I also asked if they could have a few items in the apartment after our long journey. I asked for white wine, water, figs, cheese, bread, and prosciuto. It was all there and they were very happy to do this for us. What a wonderful welcome!
...
I had e-mailed before arriving to ask if we would be able to purchase breakfast because it is not included with the apartment and was told we could for 9 euro each. But, when we got there she said they were booked and it would be too much work. It would have been nice but we made it ourselves.
...
It was very difficult to get a taxi. We ran into the owner on his way to work and he stayed to help us. We couldn't get a taxi so he gave us a ride to the bus stop. There were four of us and alot of luggage. The walk is only 5-10 min. but the road is dirt and gravel so it might have ruined our wheels on the luggage.
...
I feel you should take a taxi to the Fattoria Settemerli when you arrive. There are two ways up and the one at the bus stop has a gate. You need to have a code. They give you the code after you arrive.
...
Fattoria Settemerli is beautiful. It was a wonderful experience for our first time to Florence. The bus was very easy and only 15-20 min. into the city. The little town of Galluzzo is a 10-15 min walk with everything you need and a great Pizzaria with a beautiful garden in the back were we sat a drank wine every night after touring Florence and Sienna. We also had dinner a few times and the food is wonderful. The staff is fun and very eager to please as well as the owners.
The perfect place to stay to experience Tuscany. Fattoria Settemerli! I have friends who want to go in June.

We arrived earlier than expected and the staff was very accommodating.
...
The setting is beautiful and there are many outdoor spaces available with chairs, etc. for guest's use. A nice alternative to a hotel for a more authentic experience. You may want to bring some bug spray in the summer. It was an easy commute to the city from the farm house.

It should be stressed that there is no way you can walk the dirt road at night unless you have a vehicle. The reason being that there is no electricity and it would be extremely dark. We had to rent a car because of this, otherwise it was convenient to get to Florence with the bus. The staff was very nice and the accommodations were awesome. However, they did not make our beds the three nights we stayed there.
...
See above statement
...
peaceful and beautiful.

please advise guests that they have to walk two blocks uphill to arrive to the house
...
good place to stay if you visit florence and you have a car or are eager to take a taki because at night the distance to walk uphill to reach tho house is long .There is a 15 to 20 minute bus ride to reach the city. The near by town Galuzzo is affordable to buy groceries and supplies.
...
Amazing setting.

The place is absolutely beautiful, it really is an oasis in Florence, as the city is only a quick bus ride.
BUT
1. Directions for getting to the place by bus are not at all accurate, the bus stop is nowhere near the entrance gates to Settemerli, we had 2 children and my father 72, so when we got off at bus stop it was a very long walk in baking sunshine (with luggage would be at least 20 minutes up a dirt track), fine for us but not the others, dragging luggage. But kind people in a camping shop rang the owner and he came to collect us.
...
1.I must say that we were left to our own devices to discover the area, we did not get much help or advice from the establishment, the best saviour was Avi, she works there and helped us out with a little information when we occasionally bumped into her.
3.A leaflet with basic information would not go astray, i.e. where is the nearest supermarket, restaurant etc. Where to get the best bus day or night, we were told to take the No 68 home at night, we ended up walking back home in a circle as the bus does not stop at same stop as No 36 bus. So again with children and grandfather a lot of grousing went on.
4. A little information on what to visit in Florence and surrounding areas would benefit the guest immensely.
5. They have a fabulous pool (bio lake) horses, chickens and rabbits, we thought we would be interacting with the farm but this did not happen as we never saw anybody. The children would have loved to pet the horses or feed the chickens.
6. Last but not least, do not believe all the sites when they say airconditioning is not necessary in Tuscany, sleeping even with a fan on you face is chronic. The heat in the apartment at nighttime is cruel, airconditioning is a necesity folks!
These are only small criticisms which would end up making the place absolutely perfect. The furnishings are out of this world and the scenery to die for. The owners have made the property look like something out of a magazine, so a little more interaction with the guests and folks it is a winner without doubt. We loved the place would go again but would have to be cool. Thanks for the priviledge of staying at your Fattoria.
...
The walk from the bus stop with luggage is not acceptable.
Airconditioning is not available in the apartment.
Lack of interaction with the establishment.
...
Just as I did above.
