Villa San Michele, A Belmond Hotel

Set on a hilltop in Fiesole, Villa San Michele is a work of art, inside and out. The facade, attributed to Michelangelo, is hugged by lush woodland and terraced gardens. Go for a refreshing swim in the panoramic pool and soak up stunning views across the Arno Valley while you're at it. Wander through shaded woodland and olive groves, or hop on the courtesy shuttle to central Florence. Head to La Loggia for a fine dining experience like no other. Sunsets are perfectly framed by the monastery's arches. Please note Villa San Michele is currently undergoing a renovation and expects to open its doors in summer 2026.
