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 innkeepers were delightful. They let us check in a little early and were SO accomodating. They offered advice into how to get into Florence proper, giving us the scoop on the cheapest public parking around. The house was amazing - one tower was built in the 1200's, the other in the 1400's and the home was a stopping point for the De Medici family. At night, it's super quiet and you can hear the cicadas singing. Breakfast was delicious - the fresh made apple strudel still makes my mouth water! Bonus - The property is GORGEOUS!
Location is an easy 5 minutes walk from Fiesole's centre.
Roberto greeted us upon arrival, and although the water wasn't working when we arrived, it was fixed by the time we came back after dinner. Fortunately an English speaking neighbour could explain the situation to us!
The apartment itself is very charming and full of personality. The aircon was quick to keep us cool and there's a splendid view over Florence just outside.
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!
Amazing place to stay at when visiting Florence - especially for families with kids, but also for everyone searching for some peace and quiet in a close vicinity to the city center - the Duomo, Piazza della Signoria and Ponte Vecchio are all just a short drive away down the hill. The entire complex is beautiful, spacious and with a lot of interesting areas to spend your time.
It was authentically decorated, exceptionally clean, the bed was so comfortable and the location was fabulous. High ceilings, spacious and really worth a stay. Fiesole is quiet, ideal for couples and has lovely local restaurants. The bus journey into Florence is about 25mins but is dependent on traffic. We were happy not to be in the busy tourist area.
Large room with a desk, generous size bath, there was space around the sink, walk in shower with soap holder, toiletries. There were large bottles of water and a snack on our pillows. Large open area with shelves for closet. Air condition worked. Hosts were very friendly, outgoing and helpful.
Close drive to take bus into Florence.
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.
We received a very warm, welcoming and homey stay! Amazing! Got so many good suggestions and help. Could also lend family bicycles, which made the journey to Florence very nice and easy. Breakfast according to your wishes and preferences, delicious!
Very quiet neighborhood. Nice to walk by the river.
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.
Great location in Fiesole, easy to get to when you have a car (and even if you don’t, there is a bus stop just next to the hotel). The staff was nice and helpful, the hotel in itself is really pretty the rooms are clean.
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.
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.
Beautiful location amazing building, but the atmosphere in the hotel is cold and unfriendly. We felt not confortable at all, the price didnt matched to the servis.We do love Fiesole but not recomend Bencista .
The staff are very helpful, accommodating and friendly. The hotel is in good proximity to some restaurants, shops and bus stops.
The room was clean, tidy and the bed was comfortable.
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 €
