Villa Aurora  

Perched on an ancient Etruscan hill in Fiesole, just a 15-minute bus ride from Florence’s modern centre. Built around a 19th-century theatre-villa, the hotel sits in the historical heart of town with marvellous views over Florence.

This intimate historic villa has 24 elegant rooms and blends traditional Tuscan hospitality with period theatre charm. Expect restored architectural details, simple refined décor and hilltop vistas that make each room a quiet base for exploring Florence’s cultural heritage.

Standout features include an on-site restaurant, hands-on cooking classes and organised wine tastings at some of the region’s most famous cellars. Wake up to hilltop sun and skyline views—perfect for guests who want a relaxed, culturally rich stay.

The hotel’s restaurant serves exquisite Tuscan cuisine and boasts a wine list of over 300 labels. Join cooking classes on property or sip your way through curated tastings in nearby cellars.
