“When the celestial kingdom came to earth, it bloomed in Eridu…” This can be found in the most ancient Sumerian royal list, which was written in cuneiform characters at the end of the III millennium. According to the Sumerian mythology maybe Eridu is the first human settlement, the first town in in the world, which was built in lower Mesopotamian near the river Euphrates, a town that was the cultural centre of Sumerian society. Etymologically Eridu means: “ your home away from home”, the choice of the name itself is the principle of our hospitality. An informal and convivial hospitality that makes you feel at home. When starting our new Bed & Breakfast in Fiesole, we got inspired from this ancient myth and we built a “home away from home” for all visitors coming to Tuscany. Eridu has been created and cared for a long time, we adopted environmental sustainable choices and created a unique interior design, which combines creativeness to reuse, tradition to inventiveness.

Located along the Via Aretina within the location of Fiesole, Ellera is roughly equidistant (7.5 km) from both Florence and Fiesole. Eridu can be reached by car, bus or train.
