The property was amazing and front staff were very nice. The view was amazing, a nice get away from the big cities. Easy to take the number 7 bus from Fiesole to Florence. I bit of a hike to the hotel from Fiesole, but we didn’t mind and well worth it. We found some walking trails close by with beautiful views.

We were thrilled with our stay at Villa Bonelli. The owner greeted us and made us feel at home. She gave us recommendations on what to see and where to eat in Fiesole, which made our stay very enjoyable. Fiesole is a lovely town with amazing views if Tuscany and of Florence. The hotel was in a perfect place. Breakfast was extra good - featuring freshly cooked delicious cakes. I recommend Villa Bonelli completely.

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”.

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
Nice flat, clean, functional, charming.
A little dark, but this did not bother us at all. On the contrary, the flat keeps a certain coolness that is much appreciated in summer... By the way, the air conditioning works well.
Free parking nearby.
No view, but very pleasant, quiet, although in the city centre.
Close to a COOP, for shopping for food and other items during your stay.
Easy bus connection to Florence, from Fiesole square less than 5 minutes walk from the flat. Take the bus 7, price 1.50 €, and about 30 minutes of travel.
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 ❤️
Pensione Bencista is a very special place, with several cozy quiet lounges where one can sit and relax, have a drink, read a book or just enjoy the friendly atmosphere. That is, if you prefer to be inside; otherwise there are plenty nice spots to enjoy the same activities (or inactivity) on the various terraces and in the gardens. The staff are very friendly, we felt at home as soon as we entered the hotel. A real feel-good place!
The most incredible Agriturismo close to historic Fiesole, with an extraordinarily warm host, stylish comfortable rooms and incredible views over the valleys and hills towards Fiesole. Also the most delicious breakfast of homemade and local produce (Silvia the owner is passionate about artisanal and local products), served on a stunning terrace with spectacular views every morning. I recommend this place wholeheartedly.
Everything was perfect! Damiano is very friendly and easy to communicate with. The apartment was really clean, providing every comfort as well as a fully equipped kitchen and even a washing machine! Centrally located, next to various cafeterias and restaurants. 5 minutes walk from the bus station, taking you directly to Florence city centre as well as to the train station S M Firenze.
The location was great and unexpected. We had hoped to bus into Florence, but this, we learnt, was not not a good option. The views over Florence were stunning. The restaurant was perfect with this picturesque view. There were other restaurants in the versatility to chose from.. our room was beautifully decorated and comfortable. Our car was safely parked nearby.
What a lovely place, with magnificent views from every window! The hosts were super friendly and helpful, and among other things provided a lift down to the train station in the morning and back up to the B&B in the evening, a perfect combination of busy days exploring Florence and surrounds and tranquil evenings up at Le Torri. Thank you Anna Lisa and Ezio!
The location is absolutely beautiful and relaxing, with an amazing view from high of the gorgeous landscape. It is a great respite from the busy streets of Florence. Ms. Alida herself is a lovely host! She explained everything in Italian and English and was warm and welcoming. We had two rooms and a bathroom, all were very clean, pretty, and comfortable.
Christina was a fantastic host. Very clean and comfortable accommodations and breakfast on the rooftop terrace was great. The apartment was very cute and recently remodeled. Christina went out of her way to greet us at our car and helped with the hauling of the luggage down the hill to the apartment and back up for our departure.
We loved the pool, it was amazing! The location was great, about 20 mins on the bus to Fiesole from Florence and then a few minutes drive from Fiesole to the property. However we didn't have a car and it was about a 20 walk from the town to the property. Breakfast was also great.
Thanks for having us!
The location of this property is incredible!! Tommaso was very helpful in accommodating our needs. Having a drink on the balcony after a long hard day in Florence was great. Adventuring around Fiesole was great as well. Number 7 bus takes you straight into Florence so we had no problems there.
Tomasso was wonderful and easy to contact. A short bus ride allows escape from tourism with access within 15 or so minutes. Washer was a plus as well as bigger fridge. Will definitely come back next time we visit Fiesole/Firenze!
The setting and surrounding countryside were beautiful! Gorgeous pool. So serene. Hard to believe Florence was 4 miles away. Great bus 7 into Florence, after we parked in Fiesole.
Excellent breakfast on the patio.
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.
It was great to come back to a peaceful place after the hustle and bustle of Florence.
The pool was such a bonus with the hot weather. The shuttle service into Fiesole was reliable.
Spectacular view of Florence, camping is in a forested area 20mins on foot from Fiesole town center. There is a direct bus (no. 7) from there to Florence.
