Good location, quiet but close to center, lovely home with garden, everything about this place was done so well

what’s not to like.

Kitchen and living room

The bad was a nightmare. Not clean. The apartment was not accessible for a stroller

Very nicely furnished, in good taste. The welcoming bottle of Chianti was excellent, and the olive oil incredible.

Not a problem for us, but access would be difficult for someone with reduced mobility.

The swimming pool, the views from the garden, great quality bathroom. The first kitchen that I felt like at home during our travels. It was really well equiped and just a joy to cook in. It was really convenient to go to Florence by bus, around 20min and the bus goes every 15min. We just left our car in Fiesole and didnt have to worry about parking in the city.

Being in Fiesole was perfect for seeing Firenze without stress. Location of this flat in Fiesole was excellent, very near the center. Restaurants, caffès, bars, laundromat, supermarkets were all in the center near the Piazza Mino. At roughly 15 minute intervals, the ATAF Bus line number 7 goes from Piazza Mino to Firenze Stazione SMN i.e. rail station Firenze Santa Maria Novella. From there all the tourist sites of Florence are a 10 minute walk, at most. Parking (in mid and late September) was cost-free; it was a short downhill walk to a parking lot with many free spaces. Fiesole is worth a visit in its own right: some tour buses come up from Florence, but most Florence visitors don't visit Fiesole to sightsee. Rather it is used to stage multiple days in the Florence region.

Be cautious of GPS navigation guidance to Fiesole. We happened to be driving in a car. All the apps: Apple Maps, Google Maps and Rome to Rio had bad impractical guidance on excessively narrow roads, some of which were not paved. Bear in mind a few check points: this property is very close to the Biblioteca Comunale de Fiesole. Bear in mind it is also close to Piazza Mino or the Musei di Fiesole.
