Villa San Michele, A Belmond Hotel, Florence
In Our Opinion
There’s something undeniably spiritual about Villa San Michele. Perhaps it’s the way the evening light catches the pale pink façade, or how the gardens seem to hum with the echoes of Florence below. For us, it captures the soul of the Renaissance, reawakened for a new age of travellers who seek substance, stillness, and a little magic in their view.
Location
Sat in the hills of Fiesole, Villa San Michele feels worlds away from the bustle of Florence yet sits just 15 minutes from the city centre.
The hotel overlooks the entire Arno Valley, Amerigo Vespucci Airport is around 30 minutes by car, and the Santa Maria Novella train station is an easy 20-minute drive. The surrounding area brims with treasures.
