Quiet nature parking, difficult access
Via Riotorto, 50014, Fiesole
Been here?
A spacious, flat parking place in nature, about 20 minutes from Florence, with trees and some views. Nights are exceptionally quiet, with little or no traffic, though hunters have caused early waking and a wild camera has been seen nearby. Access is narrow, steep, winding, and challenging, especially in wet weather when vehicles may sink.

The spot is great! Very quiet and remote. You can sleep and rest there without any problems. However, you should really watch a tutorial beforehand on how to brake properly going downhill. The brakes must work! The road there and back is unfortunately very steep and winding.
Beautiful place, and it also seems quiet. However, we just discovered a wildlife camera in the bushes opposite the large tree in the middle. Make of that what you will, but I think it is important to mention it.
Very quiet night, lots of space, peaceful spot 20–25 minutes from central Florence. No traffic day or night. Ideal with dogs. Be careful in rainy weather: choose your location and route carefully to avoid getting stuck. The only (major) downside was that hunters woke us up with gunshots after 8 a.m.
Very quiet night, both evening and night. No traffic. Free parking in the village, and a €1.70 bus to Florence, very convenient.
Wonderfully quiet and clean place. There is room for quite a few cars as long as it is not muddy. Enjoy nature and the peace!
Pros: Clean parking area in nature. Very quiet place. Nobody drove past at night. Cons: A very narrow and steep uphill road, but there are many like that in Italy. There were many flies here.
We would give the parking area itself five stars, but the approach is very steep, winding and narrow. Otherwise, it is very quiet at night, and you can also take beautiful short hikes from the parking area.
Just the perfect spot! Quiet, with enough space for everyone. We were alone in September. We recommend this place! However, the road is narrow.
Dream location for spending a quiet night surrounded by nature and close to Florence. Large area; there were only two vans. No traffic during the night and a few hikers in the morning. We had very few mosquitoes. Unfortunately, some toilet paper had been left behind, so please keep it clean so this place remains as it is.
Magnificent place to enjoy the peace and quiet not far from Florence. Please leave it clean.
Excellent, we were alone with a nice view and complete peace and quiet.
