The hills around Fiesole have always been admired for their beauty, since the time of the Etruscans. Many artists have come to these areas to admire the natural elegance of the Tuscan countryside, expertly designed with olive trees, cypresses and areas left in the woods. These include the famous architect Frank Lloyd Wright and Le Corbusier. In Fiesole we recommend not to miss a visit to the Etruscan Museum and the wonderful Roman Amphitheater, where high-quality dance, theater and music performances take place in the summer. The imposing Church of San Romolo is a fine example of Romanesque architecture. The nearby climb of San Francesco leads to a belvedere near the monastery of the same name, with a view of the plain of Florence. For walkers we recommend a descent into the old via fiesolana, which from Piazza Mino leads to the base of the hill, passing through glimpses of views of Florence and gates that allow you to glimpse ancient mansions of the Medici family. Florence is only 20 min by car. You can visit this beautiful city and enjoy your entire day there, and be back after dinner. The nearby Pratolino (2Km), is famous for the Villa Demidoff, a Medici estate, complete with a lake and a famous sculpture of a Giant. In the village you will find a supermarket, a wonderful fruit and vegetable store a bar, a laundromat and Zocchi Restaurant. In just half an hour by car you can reach beautiful golf courses near Barberino in Mugello. Nearby there is also a beautiful lake, Bilancino, with a Beach Club, Kayaking and Sailing.. Just 5 minutes by car you can reach the tennis courts and the USD Caldine sports center.
We are at the end of a dirt road, about 400 meters long, at the end of which our villa is located. It is easy to travel by car and on foot, but we recommend that you use your car for your travels to other destinations.
