We spent last Sunday morning (5/16) like good Catholics, surrounded by churches in Florence, but we wrapped up the evening in the hills above the city, in the small, exclusive community of Fiesole. Our destination was Villa San Michele, a haven of tranquility in the middle of the bustle and crowds.We spent a couple of hours wandering the hotel's gardens and enjoyed a wonderful spread of snacks (a varied cheese plate, enormous caper berries, assorted nuts, breads, and the most exquisite sun-dried tomatoes I
have ever eaten in my life), along with a couple of glasses of the local chianti. Our bill? US $90... we sure enjoyed those $30 glasses of wine! Totally worth it!
