$, Fiesole
Fodor's Review:
In the foothills of Fiesole you have all the pleasures of the country with Florence 5 km (3 mi) to the south. Here there are splendid views of olive-tree groves (olive oil is produced by the Fattoria owners). The lovely apartments -- wood floors, simple and sturdy furniture, and very modern kitchens -- sleep 4-11 people and are rented by the week.
