Fiesole : Michelin's recommendations

The winding road to Fiesole heads out of Florence through an incomparable landscape of magnificent gardens and long lines of cypress trees that are so typical of Tuscany. At the top of the hill stands Fiesole, once an Etruscan city, which for many years ruled over its rival in the valley, the future city of Florence.
