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
A beautiful Tuscany Villa for a quiet getaway. It is very close to Fiesole and Florence by car. Slyvia is a great host and very helpful. She makes you feel welcomed. The room was very comfortable, quiet, and clean. The property has a beautiful view of hills with Olive and Cypress trees. The sunset colors are beyond this world. The breakfast was very good with nice touches and locally produced selections. We purchased honey and Olive Oil produced by Slyvia and they are just astonishing.
It was so Wonderful experience that i came back ! Excellent location (10 min away from Florence center by car). Beautiful landscape. Beautiful view over the hills of Toscany. Excellent breakfast with only organic food, local products, homemade jams, homemade cakes, fresh orange juice, delicious coffee. If you are a family, it is a perfect place for your family summer holidays : there are animals like donkeys, … in the beautiful parc of the farm. Fattoria di Maiano is a fabulous place !
I stayed for 7 nights & it was fabulous. Breakfast was delicious. Staff were kind & helpful. Poggiopiano is very well run with attention to environmentally aware rubbish disposal. The property is in a beautiful rural setting of vineyards & olive groves, but still only a 10-15 minute walk (quite steep so recommend taxi to arrive with luggage) to the No 14 bus which takes you straight to the heart of Florence.
Beautiful spacious room and bathroom hosted by a lovely and kind woman, Alida. Clean and fresh bedding & towels and a stunning view and outlook on Fiesole and further on Florence. Lovely decorated in a sweet vintage style with so many little well thought out details. A true recommendation if you are planning a trip to Florence!! A big plus, she made us a good espresso in the morning 💛
We loved the building itself built in the 1400's and our room was a good size. The bathroom was quite large with a large shower. The facility had a beautiful rooms with a piano to sit and relax in as well as outdoor dining area and sitting areas with stunning views since the hotel is up in the hills overlooking Florence/Firenzi.
Our room was spectacular. The room service and concierge went above and beyond. Bravo to the team. Highly recommended. As we were attending a wedding, we didn’t have time to sample the Michelin Restaurant but the food at the pool bar was exceptional. We will be back!
The great location just off the central square of Fiesole. The landlady gave me a place to use while waiting for departure time. Nice restaurant, bakery and Co-op supermarket near-by. Easy to take the bus to Florence.
Amazing balcony views across Tuscany. This is our second visit and find it much better to be away from busy Florence but have the convenience of the bus service (20 mins) from Fiesole. Free parking.
The hotel's staff, breakfast, location and the building's history was excellent. Fiesole is a perfect suburb to visit Firenze if you have a car or OK with transport by public bus.
Basic room but bright and clean and with a gorgeous view on the hills around Fiesole. The owner is very nice, he gave us plenty of information and helped us with our requests.
The owners were extremely helpful. Their breakfast was excellent. Great showers and lots of hot water. Proximity to Florence was good. Rooms were large and very clean.
Loved the location overlooking Florence and away from the crowds. Loved that the local bus stop was just outside the hotel…a 20:minute ride straight to San Marco.
