San Domenico Fiesole

Reviewed By shshmex - Lage-Vuursche, The Netherlands

Super visit ! A diamond in the rough.... if you wish to get out of the city for a couple of hours this is an amazing tour. I loved every minute of it and the ebike is a great “tool” when you go uphill... the convent is worth a visit and a large well maintained construction that you can discover enterring through the chapel ! A nice restaurant right next to the convent and some small places around the center for a drink or a bite. I would do it again !

Cathedral San Romolo

Dating back to the 11th century, the duomo of San Romolo has a Romanesque interior and a massive bell tower.

We stopped in at the Duomo in Fiesole twice during our recent stay. It is such a wonderful quiet spiritual place. I think it is about 1,000 years old. The architecture is similar to San Miniato in Florence.

7. Badia Fiesolana

Piazza Mino

Reviewed By SimeyWimey - Whitstable, United Kingdom

If you're tired of the tourism of Florence, get on the red line bus here. There's a supermarket just beyond the square, a bit of fresh bread, meat and cheese and cold drink, sit in the shade and enjoy the quiet of this little town. Just 5 mins walk is a stunning viewpoint with no one around where you can see ALL of Florence and Tuscany stretching as far as the eye can see. You will be the only ones there and not a sound around! Then back to the square or a trip around the ruins.
