Fiesole
Hilltop escape with a view

Fiesole

The hilltop town above Florence, the classic escape-the-city dinner with a view of the dome.

The hilltop town above Florence has been the city's escape since the Etruscans laid its first stones, and the climb still pays off in air, ruins and the long view back over the dome. Villa San Michele, in a former monastery attributed to Michelangelo's circle, and the Michelin-starred Serrae Villa Fiesole make the case for dinner up here rather than down in the heat. This is the classic evening retreat, twenty minutes and a different climate from the centre.
