A beautiful little church set on a hillside overlooking Florence. A fantastic view of the city shimmering in a heat haze. Easily reached by no.13 bus from the Duomo or on foot if you like climbing. Gregorian chants sung by monks at 5.30 every day.
Just outside Florence to the south of the city.
Definitely walk, if you possibly can - you'll be turning back to gorge yourself on the views every five steps. The church is beautiful, with mass often performed in a crypt.Send your feedback or queries to been.there@guardian.co.uk
