Belmond Villa San Michele is surely one of the most romantic hotels in the world. This 15th century former monastery is nestled in the verdant hills above the city of Florence. None other than Michelangelo designed its colonnaded facade, and the now superbly modernised villa retains many reminders of its monastic origins.
Here, each visitor is a privileged guest, invited to stroll in the Italian gardens, bursting with lemon trees and fragrant roses. One may relax by the heated outdoor pool or work off any indulgences in the fitness centre.
Of course, no visit would be complete without a chauffeur-driven drive into Florence itself, to gaze on the wonders of the Uffizi, Duomo and Ponte Vecchio and to stroll along the Via dei Calzaiuoli, catwalk for the Florentine passeggiata. A renaissance of spirit in the Renaissance city.
The Belmond Villa San Michele has 45 bedrooms, including suites situated in the old monastery building and nestled amongst the beautiful gardens. Each enjoys spectacular views and has its own unique style and antique furnishings.
