Along a lovely country road leading away from the hill town of Settignano. Located on the edge of Florence, it has the advantage of being quiet and peaceful, yet within a fifteen-minute car ride from the centre of town. The bus service is handy and reliable, and there is a bus stop in the main piazza of Settignano about 3 km. from the house. The small village of Settignano is famous for being the town of Gabriele D’Annunzio. In the village of Settignano there are general shops, pharmacy, outdoor cafes and a wonderful restaurant/pizzeria called “la
Capponcina” which is also the name of the Poet’s home, now a museum.
