AREA
Villa Giglio is ideally located, just a short drive from Florence center and Fiesole, along a narrow road that offers breathtaking views of the surrounding countryside.
Fiesole is a small Etruscan town, situated on a hilltop offering a very scenic view of Florence. Here you can admire several Etruscan and Roman remains preserved in the vast archaeological area or take a walk uphill to the Monastery of San Francesco that boasts, maybe, the best view of Florence.
We suggest you also visit the small medieval village of Maiano, famous for its quarries of “pietra serena” used by great artists of the Florentine Renaissance.
Moreover, in an hour’s drive you will reach the beautiful region of Chianti Classico, known worldwide for the prestigious wine to which it gives birth (the typical mark of the Gallo Nero) and for its evocative sceneries and charming villages, from the nearby Greve to Panzano, from Castellina to Radda.
For sport lovers, several options are available: trekking and biking paths; tennis courts and football pitches at the Chianti Country Club (17 km); golf courses at the Circolo Golf Ugolino (17 km); riding stables at the Equestrian Center Antellino (13 km).
