We really loved this little Irish pub that we found in the small town of Fiesole. Being the small town that it is, there are only a handful of little restaurants on the main street. We were pleasantly surprised by the welcoming atmosphere of this little pub. They make some wonderful gelato as well. The highlight was a scoop of mint-chocolate gelato with bailey's irish cream drizzled over it.
The one thing that unimpressed me was when we tried to pay by credit we were told that our card was rejected. It worked fine the next day at our B&B-the owner told us that many places will say the credit card was rejected so that they could get the cash instead. I am not sure if this is true for JJ Hill, but I would beware of such ploy.

All you can do here is to have lovely dinner at one of the great restaurants. They all served fantastic food!!!!!! Admire the lovely view over Florence afterwards..... Therefor you have to walk up a hill, so that you will loose some calories again :) Maybe it´s better the other way round..........Admire first and eat when the sun went down.......

Fiesole flaunts its history. Some lay extravagant claims to what the town and the area holds. That, in fact, was why I decided to spend some time there on my second trip, unlike previously when I...

Relaxing Afternoon Retreat From the Heat

I just spent an afternoon exploring & relaxing in this small town on the hill above Florence. It was not so hot up here, as in crowded Florence. And a scenic local bus ride for only one Euro, each...
