Florence Suggestions Please!
 

After several weeks of planning our Sept trip we have decided to take trains instead of renting a car. We will train from Rome to Florence and then Florence to Venice and then back to Rome. That said I would like to know if anyone can suggest a B&B or villa outside of Florence that is easily reached by train or bus. We would like to stay outside the city and enjoy some wine tours to the differet areas of Tuscany yet be close enough to Florence for tours and perhaps dinner. Your suggestions will be appreciated.

Hi diane,

Look up Fiesole. It's a little hill town that is connected to Florenceby the no. 7 bus.

Hi,
I'll be doing the same thing in late June. How long is the bus ride?

less than 20 minutes from Florence to Fiesole. A quaint charming town. Hotel Aurora has great food.

Hi wantagig,

Did you stay at the Aurora or just eat there? It looked very nice.
