we'll pass through the charming village of Settignano, home of many a Renaissance artist, and the quarries of Maiano, out of which comes the "pietra serena", the stone used to build Florence. Our route will take us through woods, olive groves and vineyards to the lovely hilltop town of Fiesole, our destination for lunch.

Winding through the olive groves' name= we'll be rewarded with beautiful views of the Duomo of Florence and the surrounding hillsides and a delightful lunch of local tuscan specialities.

After lunch, we'll have time to explore Fiesole and It's rich offerings, including the Duomo, roman amphitheatre and panoramic vistas. Then, we'll enjoy some fun descents as we wind our way down to the Mugnone river valley on our way back to Florence.
