Agriturismo Settepassi Tuscany

Wonderful place! We’ve just returned from a trip to Tuscany, where we stayed at Settepassi and finally celebrated being with family and friends again. We were 30 plus people and ate under the stars. The food was delicious (Grazie chef) and plentiful, their wine was exceptionally good, as the guests can confirm having been “tasting” it all night! The staff were extremely helpful, efficient and patient. We live in another country so the planning was all done long distance but Manuela didn’t let us down. Despite my bothersome questions and queries she never lost patience (or she hid it well)! and the party and dancing went on until the early hours. During our stay an important courier package we were expecting went astray. Eugenia went above and beyond the call of duty in tracking down this package for us, in spite of the courier company’s lack of information. This took several hours and many phone calls but the package was eventually retrieved. Definitely 10/10 for staff helpfulness and efficiency. The breakfast was a banquet of food that we could help ourselves to – delicious pastries, fruit and yogurt. Also hams and cheeses and coffee or cappuccinos. The rooms are spacious and kept well cleaned by house-keeping. The opening dates for the pool are in the blurb but in case you miss them best double check with reception beforehand. Also, I recommend when you go out in the evening, close your windows and turn the lights off to discourage the mosquitoes that roam in the early evening. Opening windows later and closing the curtains, after lights out, will not bring them in. My husband and I didn’t have a problem and slept well but some of our less fastidious family/friends did. If you want an unfussy but good meal close by there is a bar/restaurant about 4 minutes drive away from Settepassi - called Quelli Che il Bar - we enjoyed a good lunch of pizzas and fresh salads etc. Walking in the area is an absolute joy – the hotel is surrounded by nature, the birding is excellent and the air is full of birdsong. There is even a breeding pair of kestrel nesting there with chicks!
