Hotel Villa Florence
This villa is undoubtedly one of the most romantic places in the world: a former monastery, gently hidden in the hills of Fiesole, in a natural amphitheatre enclosed by secular trees and terraced gardens, offering unforgettable views over the Arno valley and Florence. The 15th-century facade has been attributed to Michelangelo, who is said to have been inspired by the splendid views of the area. The building is a national monument and preserves a deep historical mark in its bedrooms and communal areas where 17th-century frescoes have been carefully restored, giving Villa San Michele an unrivalled charm. Entering the building is to immerse yourself in the heavenly beauty and tranquillity of a Renaissance palace that is just as much a part of Italian culture as the great cathedrals and palaces which abound in Italy. Every visitor is a privileged guest, invited to stroll in the Italian gardens, among roses and lemon trees, to savour the unparalleled Tuscan cuisine in the loggia of the villa, just as if he were at home.
