Villa San Michele Fiesole

Hotel Villa San Michele enjoys a wonderfully peaceful location on the hill of Fiesole, just a few minutes from the centre of Florence.

The original building on this site was a monastery, founded in the early years of the 15th century by Franciscan monks. The present building, with its façade attributed to Michelangelo and its imposing loggia, dates from 1600 when it was enlarged and completely renovated by Giovanni di Bartolommeo Davanzati.

Over the past decade great care and expertise has been engaged to refurbish the entire Villa in a style that provides a luxurious environment whilst maintaining the beauty and heritage of this magnificent building.

The Villa San Michele has 46 rooms, including 24 suites and junior suites, located in the old monastery building and nestled amid the beautiful gardens, enjoying spectacular views, each with its own unique style and antique furnishings.

The panoramic gardens of the hotel provide the idyllic setting for Villa San Michele's attractive open air swimming pool.

Villa San Michele is famous for its School of Cookery, which offers a variety of courses for both adults and children.

A complimentary shuttle service transports guest to and from the center of Florence (journey time: 14 minutes).
