“Villa La Stella, nestled in the hills of Fiesole, offers a particularly scenic location, while its proximity to Florence is convenient; the private chapel is certainly a unique feature for events. However, the rooms seem to lack attention to detail and breakfast is underwhelming. With some improvements, this historic building could be a gem.”
