Overview

Leave the chaos behind! Your route begins by exiting Porta San Gallo for an immediate ascent towards light and history! The hills of Fiesole, the “Mother of Florence,” await you.

In an instant, ancient Faesulae embraces you : feel the thousand-year-old energy of Piazza Mino (the ancient Roman Forum) and the intact majesty of the Ancient Theatre. But the climax is at the summit : climb to the Convent of San Francesco and prepare for pure emotion. There, Florence will unveil itself at your feet—a breathtaking panorama that is a living postcard!

Next, it's time for authenticity and flavour. The historic Fattoria di Maiano awaits you! Treat yourself to a moment of pure relaxation immersed in centuries-old olive groves, savouring the true Tuscan oil and wine—the quintessence of rural life.

It is a complete and total experience in the timeless charm that inspired the Renaissance and defined the true Tuscan essence.
