Fiesole is Magic

As soon as we went in the door we could tell this place was something special. It was beautifully clean, spacious and well equipped. The view from the rear of the property is stunning, and the provisions supplied by Michelangelo (our host) and his parents were very much appreciated, including, and especially, the lovely pie made by Michelangelo's mother. I, personally, very much appreciated the Dolce Gusto coffee machine! We've read other reviews where people have left their rental car in the locked, gated compound that we were shown to on arrival, a few tens of metres from the property. That's exactly what we did; visiting Florence is made easy by just taking the bus from the centre of Fiesole, a 10-15 minute walk down the road from the property. Buses are (supposedly) regular and often, according to the Autolinee Tuscane app, and get you in to the centre of Florence in 20 minutes or so. Fiesole itself is an intriguing little town, with various little shops and restaurants, including an Indian restaurant, as well as a well-preserved Roman theatre within an archaeological site including Roman baths, a sacred area and a museum, which is all well worth a visit. As a cycling fan, it was interesting hearing about the World Cycling Championship that had taken place around this area in 2013; just before I'd become interested in cycling! I also developed a huge amount of respect for the many cyclists who had clearly climbed the relatively long, and steep, climb from Florence up to Fiesole, in temperatures in the mid-30s C! We did have some issues with the air-con being a bit unreliable, but Michelangelo and his father responded very quickly when we mentioned this to him, The air-con issue was the only problem we had; other than that, pretty much everything about our stay was perfect.

Some minor issues but worth mentioning: As mentioned, we had some issues with the air-con, which didn't seem to be very reliable. Michelangelo and his father tried their best to overcome this but, despite it being a bit of a nuisance, we understand that sometimes things happen that are not fully under the hosts' control, and it didn't spoil our stay. Loading and unloading at the property is a little awkward; there is a place across the road, under a tree, where you can pull up to do this, but there is only one place that's out of the way of other traffic and, when it's already taken (as it was when we were loading our car to leave), it makes things a little uncomfortable as the property is on a short stretch of straight, narrow, road, between two bends. Another thing, obviously not under Michelangelo's control are the bus timetables. Although Autolinee Toscane's app showed that there should've been buses to Florence at 9:28, 9:43, 9:59 and 10:13 on the day we went, the 9:28 seemed to leave at 9:24, just before we got to the bus stop, and no other buses turned up until around 10:10.

We felt very comfortable. The appartement is very well equipped, very clean, with comfortable beds. Thanks for the drinks and the cake. We are happy to recommend the appartement

Location Fiesole is excellent with a view over Firenze. Very comfortable apartment and very friendly welcome from our host Michelangelo. We even had some complimentary groceries and a tart cooked by his mother. Parking was in a locked compound less than 100m from the apartment and free.

The only slightly negative issue is that the Firenze bus stop is about 1km away down a gentle slope (less gentle on the way back!)

Everything was perfect

Meeting with owners was pleasant. They showed all equipment of the apartment. The apartment is very cosy with stunning views to Fiesole's valleys and hills. When we arrived after a four-hour drive from Rome Airport we found water, wine, coffee and fresh apple pie waiting for us. There is also a locked parking area only 50 m from the apartment included into price. We really liked our stay in Fiesole.

The road to apartment is narrow so you should be careful when walking to Coop market or to Piazza Mino for a bus to Florence.

Spacious house, nice location, free parking.

The owners are very kind and humble. They have everything you need at the apartment and prepare some drinks and snacks. They are happy to help and give you all the information you need. You are welcomed with a homemade delicious pie and an amazing view onto a tuscan valley. The apartment is very clean and spacious. Really everything was wonderful and we will be happy to come back here when visiting Florence.

Fantastic hospitality very clear house and nice full kitchen.. Very nice view and very quiet place.

Nos encantó!! Quedamos impresionados. Nos recibieron súper bien. Con un montón de detalles. Entre ellos una cesta con muchas cosas para el desayuno, la nevera con bebida. Si madre nos dejó un Pastel increíble hecho por ella. Todo tipo de detalles; en los baños zapatillas nuevas desechables, jabones, kits dentales, toallitas desmaquilladores, y un largo etcétera. Éramos 7 y deseando regresar. Súper limpio. Unas vistas preciosas. A 17 minutos de Florencia en coche. Cómodo y tranquilo. La familia muy amable. Lo recomiendo 100%

Anbefaler på det sterkeste å oppleve Toscana og Fiesole. Deilig å kunne bo litt utenfor storbyen Firenze. Michelangelo og familien hans tok oss i mot, og hadde ordnet mange overraskelser. Vi reiste litt rundt i Italia, men her kunne vi slappe av. Lett å ta buss og trikk når man fant ut av systemet. Tusen takk for oss💐

Der Aufenthalt war absolut perfekt! Die Unterkunft war genauso wie beschrieben – super sauber, liebevoll eingerichtet und mit allem ausgestattet, was man braucht. Man hat sich vom ersten Moment an wohlgefühlt. Die Lage war ideal – ruhig, aber trotzdem nah an allem Wichtigen. Besonders hervorheben möchte ich die tolle Kommunikation mit dem Gastgeber: immer erreichbar, hilfsbereit und herzlich. Man merkt, wie viel Mühe und Liebe in diesem Ort steckt. Ich würde jederzeit wiederkommen und kann die Unterkunft nur wärmstens empfehlen. Vielen Dank für alles!

Verten var veldig hyggelig og hjelpsom. Stor flott velkomst kurv med nybakt pai og alt man trengte til første frokost av kaffe og drikke. Kun 10 min å gå ned til torget der det er buss og taxi.

Abbiamo alloggiato in questo splendido appartamento in 7, solo 2 notti ma è stato come essere a casa, da subito. Vi si accede dalla strada salendo una breve scala. Camere ampie, luminose, arredate con gusto, molto accoglienti. 2 bagni pulitissimi e ordinatissimi e una cucina abitabile fornita veramente di tutto: microonde, macchina per espresso, raccolta differenziata, stoviglie, biancheria. La casa dispone di un bel balcone con un’ affaccio su un panorama stupendo. Silenziosa e calda, dispone di un parcheggio privato. I proprietari sono stati gentilissimi, veramente delicati. Hanno preparato per noi una buonissima crostata per colazione! Firenze è raggiungibile in autobus direttamente da Fiesole o in macchina, in 15 minuti. Ringrazio Michelangelo per la sua gentilezza e disponibilità costante e sempre puntuale. Torneremo sicuramente, ottima posizione per soggiornare a Firenze fuori dal grande caos e con un servizio di qualità!!

Aggiungerei solo un appendiabiti all’ ingresso

Appartamento molto bello, spazioso, moderno, molto ben arredato e con una meravigliosa vista sulle colline di Fiesole. Pulizia impeccabile. Accoglienza molto cordiale e massima disponibilità da parte dell'host. Comoda e tranquilla posizione per visitare Firenze avendo il capolinea dell'autobus che porta in centro Firenze a pochi passi dall'appartamento. Buonissima torta di benvenuto fatta trovare sul tavolo in cucina insieme ad un cesto con ottime vettovaglie per la colazione!! Complimenti a Michelangelo e ai suoi genitori per la perfetta e impeccabile organizzazione. Soggiorno che consiglio davvero!.
