Villa San Michele, A Belmond Hotel, Florence

Amazing hotel, great service. For 3-4 days - this is the best option of all possible.

....the place and' fabulous , you can see the whole Florence.I think by fiorentino, one of the most beautiful places in the world.

Unforgettable experience - stunning location, excellent service, views of Florence so beautiful you'll understand why Fiesole is where the Medicis chose to reside.

You'll never want to leave the luxurious Villa San Michele, with its unobstructed and breathtaking views of Fiesole. Five+ star service!

This was my Second Time in Villa San Michele. First Time was three years ago. It is like coming home and I like it always more and more here And I will come again, at the latest in three years from now.

Stunning view and very beautiful garden. Very upscale restaurant with great foods and impeccable services.

A MUST stay for your visit in Florence. With the city of Florence in the background you wind your way up the driveway to Villa San Michele. You can sense the anticipation that this property is going to be special. As you enter through the wrought iron gate the view of the hotel is stunning. Greeting your eye is a 16th century Renaissance monastery with a modern flair. With friendly smiles and a polite "Buongiorno" you are greeted and escorted into the reception area. The entire property is first-class and extremely worthy of a 5-star property. Appointed artwork, statuary, greenery, flowers, antique furniture, and lush immaculate grounds introduces the eye to the impressive details and architecture of the property. As you walk through the hotel’s common areas you are impressed with each room’s beauty and elegance. Sophia escorted us on an extensive tour of the property and then to our room.

Our guest room was the Greenhouse Room. A short walkway from the main building leading to a stone staircase, ushers you to a hidden ivy-covered guest room. The rooms rooftop terrace overlooks the hotel and city of Florence. What a gorgeous terrace view to share coffee in the morning or champagne after dark. We returned from dinner and shared in the wedding’s celebratory fireworks at the hotel. The guest room itself is very large with a king size bed, sofa and sitting area. The ornate Italian marble bathroom with separated sinks was spacious and closet space was very accommodating. The attention to detail continued with the bouquets of flowers, antique furniture, lighting, and rich colors. Housekeeping kept the room clean and tidy. We never knew they were there. You returned every evening to turndown service with the drapes drawn, dimmed lights, slippers beside the bed, and bottled water.

After a refreshing night’s sleep our day started every morning with coffee delivered to our room by Filippo. Thank you, sir! Breakfast is served at the Ristorante San Michele terrace overlooking the city of Florence. Breathtaking views. A la carte menu with an entire room buffet filled with fresh fruit, pastries, cheeses, meats, and breads. The coffee was exceptional, and our server Anna kept our cups filled and tended to our every need, Thank you! Our dinner experience at Ristorante San Michele was tasty and savory. From my fettuccine with wild boar to my wife’s whole fish (which she asked to fillet herself) our dinner was outstanding.

Complimentary shuttle service to Florence added to a memorable experience. Drop off / pick up at Piazza della Repubblica made for convenient access to the city. The 20–25-minute ride allowed for sightseeing and meeting new friends from around the world.

A special thank you to Concierge Adriano who went above and beyond to make our experience exceptional and magical.
Your recommendations were incredible!

A special thank you to Luana for her helpfulness and thoughtfulness. You added exponentially to our anniversary holiday. Your smile is radiant!

We can’t say enough about the hotel’s General Manager, Sofia Peluso. Your professionalism and customer service are outstanding and distinguished. You went over and above to make our stay memorable and extraordinary. Thank you. Judy and I feel we made a lifelong friend.
