The charming town of Fiesole is one of the least touristy hillside towns near Florence. The town overlooks the valley and features numerous Tuscan villas with the most famous being Lorenzo di Medici’s Villa Fiesole. The streets in Fiesole are very narrow, and the town is best visited via city bus though personal vehicles are allowed. There are also many excellent restaurants in Fiesole such as Le Reggia Degli Etruschi and Trattoria Tullio. You’ll need reservations to dine at both of these highly sought-after restaurants. Tours of the Cathedral of Fiesole and other historic churches are available as well as the Roman baths and theatre at Fiesole are available. Fiesole
