Bed & Breakfast in Fiesole - FLORENCE

Sitting between the hills of Saint Francis and Saint Apollinaire, Fiesole is one of the most famous sites around Florence, and the sights seen from up there once had a famous writer exclaim: " ... what you see here is unique in the world. Nowhere else is nature so penetrating, graceful, and fair. The god who made all this was a fine artist, a goldsmith, a medal engraver, a sculptor... This landscape has the beauty of an ancient medal and a precious painting. It's a perfectly blended work of art."

Poggio al Sole lies in the midst of the magnificent scenario of the Florentine hillsides, and leans over the Mugnone valley. It rests on a 450 m hill, 6 kilometres from Fiesole in a locality called Torre di Buiano.

Several art and culture exhibits take place during the whole year, but especially from May to September. The Estate Fiesolana offers art shows, ballet and theatre shows, and open air films attracting large numbers of people, from Florence and its environs.
We left the original country features of the two buildings that constitute the farm; luckily both the farmhouse and the barn were kept unchanged until nowadays.

Three large double rooms are set in the barn, which was left stone rough. The rooms have been given flower names and they all have private bathrooms and heating, though the remodelling kept the purest Tuscan style in the rough beams, in the brick floors, the solid wood doors, windows, and furniture.

The ancient loggia, formerly used to keep the tools, now serves as an entrance to the rooms and common hall, but is at the same time a genuine panoramic balcony over the valley and the land, planted with vines, olive and fruit trees.
On the front, a large threshing floor shaded by a century-old oak tree, which the local farmers used to call Chioppone, and other trees, which guarantee coolness in the summer. The first floor of the farmhouse hosts the family's apartment and two large double rooms for the guests, both with private bathroom and heating, and both with a breathtaking view of the valley

On the ground floor there are the kitchen, the dining room with fireplace, and other service rooms.
In the basement, the old cellar has been transformed into a wine and food tasting room and shop, where the farm produces can be tasted and bought.

Breakfast is really an event: warm and home made marmalades, jelly and cakes.
