Stay close to Florence and still enjoy the atmosphere of
the Tuscany countryside! The Settignano Suites offer three elegantly
furnished houses within walking distance of a small and picturesque village.
Located in a small borgo with spectacular views,
each is carefully renovated and beautifully appointed. Florence is only six
kilometers away, and can be reach in fifteen minutes by a convenient bus stop.
There are 1.5 hectares (3.7 acres) of grounds that are surrounded by olive and
fruit trees with a beautiful view of Florence.
The units (Suite
1,
Suite 2 and
Suite 3) can accommodate 2, 4 and 6 guests, and together
can be rented for a group up to 12 guests. If rented together (Settignano
Suites - All), they provide a
comfortable and hospitable experience of Tuscany.
The houses are classically Tuscan and in the past were used
to store young lemon trees during the winter and olives during the fall
harvest. They are now converted into the most comfortable country homes, where
you can find a perfect balance between modern and traditional furnishings. Each
unit offers a tasteful and private outdoor space for relaxation and al fresco
dining.
Settignano was the home of three of the most famous
sculptors of the Renaissance – Desiderio da Settignano, Bernardo and Antonio
Rossellino. As a young man, Michelangelo lived here, in a farmhouse that is now
called Villa Michelangelo.
The owner, a famous interior designer, lives in a house on
the property. She speaks fluent English and French and is happy to assist the
