Fiesole Audio Tour: Villas, Vistas, and Voices of the Ancient Hills
Tucked into the hills above Florence, Fiesole hides a world where every villa holds a secret and every garden remembers history’s quiet dramas. This self-guided audio tour leads you off the beaten path, guiding you through elegant retreats and overlooked corners most travelers never see. Why did German soldiers turn Villa Le Balze into a fortress as Allied shells rained down? What vanished treasures once graced the corridors of Villa Medici—lost in scandals no one dares discuss? Could that oddly carved shell grotto at San Girolamo really have inspired a famous novelist’s twist? Each step carries you from philosophers’ midnight debates to whispers of rebellion and the murmur of artists plotting under cypress shade. Watch Fiesole unfold through new eyes and move through time amid sweeping views and haunting beauty. Let curiosity lead—begin your journey among Fiesole’s hidden heights and let its mysteries reveal themselves.
