There's no denying the beauty of Florence, but if you're looking to explore further afield, head out to the Fiesole hills. A short journey north of the city will lead you to Villa il Palmerino. This historic property is home to a regular programme of lectures and concerts, as well as some breathtaking English gardens, which are open to tours. Stay for dinner at the restaurant to taste produce grown on the estate.
