An Oasis in the Middle of Florence Hills!
There couldn’t be a better place to start our vacation from.
This little gem in Fiesole, one of the elite areas outside the chaotic and touristic City of Florence, was for us literally an oasis.
We had just landed in Rome after a 24 hour long flight departed from Sydney, Australia and we were driving north. Temperature was hellish and highway congested.
We soon realized that we were in no condition to continue our trip without a stop. It was a very last minute booking and we were lucky we found a room available.
Although we only had given Gennaro and Marianna, the owners, 2 hours notice of our arrival, they both immediately did everything possible to make our stay as comfortable as possible.
Once arrived at the location, we were fascinated by this 15th century building and its surroundings. It was immersed in the nature, so silent, so quiet, we almost felt we did not want to break that magic.
Inside, the building, the rooms, the breakfast hall were in rustic style furnished and decorated in line with the building. This little oasis only has 4 rooms, which keeps the chaos from checking in and out away.
Our room, a double one, with ensuite bathroom was clean and tidy, with a balcony overlooking the super view of the surrounding nature.
Breakfast was perfect and abundant. You would not get anything near that with 20Euros in any nearby bar in Fiesole.
Gennaro and Marianna are a young couple that truly love what they do. You can feel how passionate they are about their job. We could see and feel how all that passion was turned into high quality service.
Moreover,the location is only 10mins drive from Florence city centre, has a free parking included which made us save roughly 40euro per night.
We felt home, and definitely will stay again at “Florence Country Relais”.
Offering a hilltop location with views of Florence, this campground includes a restaurant and a summer outdoor swimming pool. Fiesole's historic center is 0.6 mi away. Parking is free.

The purpose our visit to Fiesole was to celebrate our friend's birthday whom we had not seen for years. We had never heard of Fiesole, but they were staying there for a 3 week holiday (from Canada) and so we joined them with zero expectations. Fiesole was absolutely lovely, and frankly two days was not enough. We ate very well at local restaurants and visited the lovely Franciscan monastery on top of the hill, which is well worth a look. An incredible museum with Chinese coins dating back to the 100AC (!) and an Egyptian mummified kitten amongst other extremely old antiquities! Was not expecting that LOL!
View of Florence is spectacular from Fiesole, and to think you are in a small little quiet 'village' just 20 mins drive away.

Nestled in the hills just a stone's throw away from Florence, Fiesole is a quaint Italian town that may not boast an extensive list of attractions, but it captivates visitors with its serene ambiance and unparalleled vistas of the Tuscan capital. If you're in search of a peaceful escape from the hustle and bustle of Florence, Fiesole is the perfect destination.

We did not see much of Fiesole because our stay was short and we were focused on Florence but we would really like to have visited the Roman ruins of Fiesole. The part of town that we stayed in has a nice piazza with a restaurant, an ice-cream parlor and a really yummy food truck. It is really well connected to Florence (a cheap bus takes you to the city in 20 min. and it comes every 15 so it is really convenient). The restaurant has a gorgeous view of the whole valley with Florence in the middle. We also saw the post office and a grocery store around there. It is really a pleasant town with a lot to offer.

Quaint little town on the hill above Florence, easily accesable by bus from the centre of Florence. There are few restaurants and cafe's in the centre and also a historic centre with Roman ruins and a museum. We had 3 nights tehre, but could have easily stayd more, as the vibe of the small time is great and if you get bored you can easily go to Florence and back.

Fiesole is a beautiful vibrant village in the hills above Florence. Wonderful views back towards the city. Fascinating history to explore. The perfect place to stay out of the hustle of the city and only a 20 odd minute bus trip away. Lots of great bars and restaurants. A well stocked small supermarket. We love Fiesole.

Deliberately booked fiesole as didn't want the chaos of florence centre.However, there is a number 7 bus that goes back and forth 1.50 euro takes about 22 mins and very frequent.I believe would get a better class hotel in centre and yes same price or less .The walks are tiring around fiesole but views worth it. we were lucky sun was shining each day. some amazing sunsets about 7pm.Little cake shop towards bottom hill ALCEDO cheapest coffee to go and amazing cakes.Coop sells all need to make picnics as food is very costly
The staff were amazing before we turned up, whatsapping messages even though they weren't at work. The facilities were very comfortable, with an amazing view, a peaceful village, and the Florence locals calling it the balcony overlooking their city. Everything you needed was in Fiesole, mini-market, chemist, deli, bars, restaurants, local bus service, awardwinning 16k cycle route, with Fiesole being its highest point! and an amazing viewpoint over Florence, with a beautiful church. The village also has its own cathedral.
A very charming and wonderful place to stay, especially for a trip to Florence. Stefania is a very welcoming and lovely host. The rooms are spacious, clean and decorated in a lovely Italian style. The center of the town is in just 2 mins walk, where you can find restaurants and also the bus to Florence city center. The breakfast is very delicious and you can enjoy some wondrous home made Italian pastries. Would love to return!
This beautiful air Bnb set on property was exactly what we needed for our few days in Florence. The room was comfortable, we were fed a beautiful breakfast each morning and our host and her family were so lovely. We drove into the town each day (5min drive) and caught the but into Florence. it was so easy and convenient. The last day we explored Fiesole, what a beautiful town so rich in history!
thank you for a lovely stay!
Roberto didn't speak any English but he was so kind and welcoming! The flat was very cute and spacious, we especially loved the kitchen. Gorgeous view as well on the way to the bus stop every day, where the centre of Florence can be easily reached. We went multiple times to the restaurant nearby "Vinandro Vino e Desco Molle", highly recommended. The archaeological ruins in Fiesole are worth a short visit as well 🙂
Stayed at this apartment and couldn't have been happier! It was impeccably clean and comfortable with all amenities provided. The location is perfect, with a bus stop less than a 5-minute walk away, and frequent buses to Florence. The view from the apartment is breathtaking. Special shoutout to our host, Duccio, who was incredibly kind and helpful throughout our stay. Highly recommend!
I travelled with my teenage daughter, we wanted to be near to Florence, but to have a pool and parking in a village. The hotel was beautiful, the pool and facilities were great. Breakfast was good, walking distance to the village centre (about 15 minites) where there were local shops, restaurants and the bus which took you straight to Florence.
Would highly recommend.
The views were amazing! There are so many little outdoor sitting areas, each lovely with gorgeous views of Firenze. The hotel itself had different rooms every time one turned a corner! It was a great place to base ourselves while exploring Florence, and so nice to return to in the evening to relax, sip wine on the terrace and unwind.
Michelangelo and family thoughtfully provided some breakfast food (and a bottle of wine!) when we arrived. The kitchen was well equipped and quite functional. The view from the small balcony is beautiful. The apartment was comfortable for our family of 4 and we would stay again if we find ourselves in Fiesole.
Very peaceful and quiet place with an amazing garden. Bus #7 goes frequently to Florence and the stop isn't far from the apartment. Fiesole is a beautiful and cozy little town with some nice restaurants. Staying here was a really nice change after spending a few days in noisy, busy cities.
The property is in the city center of Fiesole, for a 5 minute walk from bus station, from where you can get to Florence. There were free coffee, tea, water, orange juice, croissants and biscuits in the kitchen. The coffee especially was great 😊.
The location is a short ride from Florence but you truly feel you are in another place. The countryside is gorgeous and there are nice restaurants close to the hotel. Lots of walking trails and sites to see. Breakfast is continental but generous.
very close to the bus station! can easily get to Florence in about 20 minutes. we found a very nice grocery store nearby and we’re able to use the fridge and kitchen for all our items. The lady who owns the building is incredibly kind.
Beautiful view and great localization to see Florence if you have a car, Ezio is a nice and great cook, impressive and original building. The room was interestingly arranged and cozy. Hosts are really helpful.
loved our stay. It was prettier than the pictures. Very beautiful location. Took the train to Florence. It was very quick. stayed late in Florence and took a taxi back for only 24 €
The pool is lovely and the nature around the hotel also. The value was good in comparison to other places. The location was in Fiesole, which is a gorgeous Tuscan town.
Super nice place. A beautiful classic Toscan house, amazing views, peaceful and romantic. Also close to the bus stop to Florence and easy to go for dinner in Fiesole.
Nice location outside Florence, on a hill with views of Fiesole. Nice and cool in the evening, great parking, friendly and helpful staff. Restaurant was excellent!
