Staying outside the city and taking the bus straight to San Marco Square is the best thing you can do. It is only a 10 minute ride into the city. Also Fiesole has a good number of things to see and do on its own. I would recommend hiking up to the point where Da Vinci first attempted flight.

Fiesole was wonderful.
Fiesole was wonderful. Quiet and beautiful, just a 20 min. bus ride away from Florence. There are several very good restaurants. The views of both Florence and the Tuscan countryside are amazing. There is a small area of both Etruscan and Roman ruins that was very interesting. The Casa Torrini was very nice. We had a three bedroom, two bath apartment with a nice kitchen. Would absolutely recommend Fiesole and Casa Torrini.

We wish the city of Florence was more forgiving and understanding of tourists, esp. regarding the rules of bus travel in the city. We had a bad experience of getting fined for not punching our bus tickets. It was unreasonable and somewhat scary when the officers took our passports. We will not go back to Florence because of this.
눇The landscape, the walk to the place, the grapes and olives, the staff, the quiet and the darkness. It was an excellent place for us to unwind after a few weeks in major cities.

Fiesole pushes hard to be a destination in its own right, but it is widely considered just as "balcony of Florence". Maybe such perception is not without a reason. One day is more than enough to enjoy the Fiesole itself - but it is worth staying there for several nights, because its situation on the top of the hill and farther away from the city makes it peaceful and cool (as in temperature) destination in summertime, while bus connection to Florence is easy.

Fiesole is well situated for exploring Florence and at the same time getting to know a small town. It is hilly, being on a hill, but a short bus ride from downtown Florence, where the Italian Renaissance started.
The landlord, Filippo, is most helpful. There is an ancient olive tree garden with views of the countryside.

Fiesole is a small community on a hill adjacent to Florence.
Fiesole is a small community on a hill adjacent to Florence. It is a quiet and reasonably priced alternative to staying in Florence. In its own right, Fiesole is an attractive and interesting place, with some historical sites, and a couple of good restaurants.
“The Fiesole town is a nice small place on top of hill. There’s a stunning panoramic view on Florence on one side and Tuscan hills on the other side (from the hotel windows). The hotel is comfortable and clean.”
“Excellent location, louisella was a wonderful host, made us comfortable and even dropped us off to the train station on the last day. Restaurants, laundromat and beautiful etruscan ruins within 5 mins walk, the center of Florence 15 mins by bus 7, beautiful views of the Tuscan landscape and extremely child friendly. ”
“Beautiful small house a short drive from Florence city center. Accessible also by bus. The house had everything one could ask for to feel like home. Perfectly located in the small village of Fiesole with public parking only 2 mins away. Very quiet and calm, clean and well equiped. The host was very kind and helpful. We wished we could have stayed longer to enjoy the beautiful garden. If you are looking for a place to stay while exploringTuscany but want to be also close Florence this is the place for you. Highly reccommended!”
“Old Europe flair, libraries, sitting rooms, veranda overlooking Florence & Duomo, modern spa, sauna, fitness facility...great atmosphere created by the staff.”
“The view from the pool is amazing! The walks into Fiesole are great (don't go the way the taxi or campeggio van does). Use the map the campeggio gives you it is very good.”
“The landscape, the walk to the place, the grapes and olives, the staff, the quiet and the darkness. It was an excellent place for us to unwind after a few weeks in major cities.”
“You can feel the place is very well taken care off -- the grass is green, the pool fresh, and the rooms cool & comfy. Our stay was more than we could have asked for.”
