Location
Located just between Florence and Fiesole, this villa accommodation in Tuscany is near San Domenico, a small village where you will find shops and a bus stop. San Domenico is also the location of the church of the same name, notable for paintings by Fra Angelico and a wealth of other art. Fiesole, just to the north, has a history that goes straight back to Etruscan times, evidenced in the remains of ancient city walls, and in the middle ages was actually a rival of Florence for power until it was sacked. Today it is a "magical" place, famed for its part in E.M. Forster's "A Room With A View." You can find the remains of Roman baths and a theatre, as well as a medieval castle (restored in 1865). Of course the primary attraction of the greater area is the majestic city of Florence, world-renowned for its art and culture. Go here to shop the Ponte Vecchio, marvel at the statue of David, or tour the wonders of the Uffizi Gallery. Of course, you could also simply relax in one of the squares with a book or a latte.
