Sitting between the hills of Saint Francis and Saint Apollinaire, Fiesole is one of the most famous sites around Florence, and the sights seen from up there once had a famous writer exclaim: " … what you see here is unique in the world. Nowhere else is nature so penetrating, graceful, and fair. The god who made all this was a fine artist, a goldsmith, a medal engraver, a sculptor… This landscape has the beauty of an ancient medal and a precious painting. It's a perfectly blended work of art."

Florence alone, which is just a few kilometres away, and can be reached by bus, offers a great art-and-culture-centred holiday: the other main Tuscan cities are not further than 50/60 minutes by bus or car. The Fiesole area is full of beautiful villas dating back to the Renaissance period, and now summer residences to well-off families who chose them because of the climate (much cooler than in the city) and the proximity to Florence.
