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”.
On average, 3-star hotels in Fiesole cost $158 per night, and 4-star hotels in Fiesole are $216 per night. If you're looking for something really special, a 5-star hotel in Fiesole can be found for $1,270 per night, on average (based on Booking.com prices).

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
Pensione Bencista is a wonderful place to stay with absolutely magnificent views of Florence from many windows, and from the terrace restaurant. The gourmet food at the restaurant was superb and the staff attentive. Letitzia the manager who welcomed us was a delight, and very helpful with arranging a medical referral as well ( much appreciated!), and bus tickets too! It is a very special place and we highly recommend it and won’t hesitate to stay again!! Laura also is a wonderful host and you feel like a personal guest in her home!
We loved the entrie place! It's a perfect balance between 5-star hotel and family house. You truly feel like you're Marianna and Gennaro's guest, not just a client. The area is quiet and peaceful, rooms are cosy and comfortable. I highly recommend taking breakfast - Marianna's fresh baking is heavenly and delicious. We decided to stop there just for a while on our way home, but we ended up extremely sad that we had to leave this wonderful place. Once again I highly recommend Florence Country Relais to everybody ❤️
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!
This is a beautiful hotel, set in lovely gardens and exuding a sense of real tranquility. the staff were all exceedingly cheerful, helpful and efficient. the rooms big and comfortable - the public rooms were astonishingly beautiful and the whole place kept the sense of its monastic foundations...breakfast of the open terrace overlooking Florence was a wonderful way to satrt the day.
The entire staff team were FANTASTIC were were made to feel so welcome and nothing was a problem. Barbara was exceptional in her service and couldn’t help us enough with places to go and things to do. We were sad to go and will definitely be back and will recommend Hotel Villa Fiesole to our friends and family. Stay safe until we meet again.

This was just like in the pictures, a big ancient Italian house turned into a hotel nowadays, a bit old but beautiful, specially if you like that kind of property.
Its located a fee minutes away from the city but its worth it considering that comes with a peaceful atmosphere and amazing view.
All the girls fork the staff are incredibly friendly and helpful.
Beautiful location. The hosts were wonderful. We ended up having dinner there every night. It was a great way to unwind after a busy day of sight seeing.
Easy drive in to Florence with a parking garage right in the edge of the historical district.
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 😊.
Lovely hotel in a beautiful location in the hills overlooking Florence. Friendly staff who gave us great recommendation for dinner in the village. Was too cold for the swimming pool during our visit so that will have to wait until next time!
The host, Eleonora was super warm and friendly. Everything was perfect. It is super clean, the breakfast was very tasty, especially the scrambled egg with Fiesole olive oil.
Definitely recommend to stay here.
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 room , grounds , breakfast, really everything!
Sylvia and Erick are amazing hosts. All organic products are used! The location is close to Florence. This is a magical place!
