17 Km from the house. Here's my starting point for easy parking and an easy walk https://goo.gl/maps/RaFRxmDzondcwKsb8 Be aware; Monte Ceceri has several trails. You can pick a very easy one that just goes to the Leonardo da Vinci Clif but also you can pick a very challanging one. Make sure you have a plan and read carefully the maps on the internet and maps on the site. https://www.visittuscany.com/en/itineraries/walking-around-fiesole-in-the-places-of-leonardo/

Food scene

5 Km from the house - A farm. They sell meat right from from the animals they raise but it's not easy to buy this outstanding meat. You need to call and check when they will slaughter (sig.) the next animal.
