My boyfriend and I recently stayed at Villa Aurora in Fiesole and had nothing but pleasant experiences. This hotel is a prime example of how classic Italian hotels should be. It has a terrace bar with great food and wine. The service was awesome. We found ourselves at the bar each night before going to dinner just to sit and relax and take in the gorgeous views of Florence. The views alone are simply to die for. Not to mention the live music that we were lucky enough to enjoy on a Friday night (which I believe is weekly during the summer).
The restaraunt was some of the best food I've found in Europe and the best during our trip by far. The lobster pasta is a must with some of the freshest pasta and lobster you'll ever have. My boyfriend got a steak that was to die for. Hats off to the chef. Not to mention the lengthy wine list that will please anyone's pallet.
The rooms were comfortable and relaxing. They have the nice, classical feel with the modern benefits that one would expect from the finest hotel including jacuzzi tubs, A/C, satellite tv and so on. The pool was also a great place to relax. It is small and relaxing and hidden from view behind trees to provide privacy from the outside world.
Overall, our stay in Fiesole was the highlight of our trip to Europe and we would go back in a heartbeat. Just put us on bus #7 to Fiesole and we would be two happy campers.
