Belmond Villa San Michele, Florence
When visiting the bustling city of Florence, shrewd travellers have often elected to stay far from the madding crowds in the calm and leafy foothills of Fiesole with its stunning panoramic views onto the Renaissance cityscape below.
Today, elegant villas dot the hillsides together with one of Italy’s most cherished hotels, Villa San Michele.Formerly a monastery, the hotel is a masterpiece of loving restoration by Belmond set within exquisite gardens. The colonnaded façade of the main hotel is said to have been designed by Michelangelo and frescoes adorn the walls within.The fact that the villa looks down on Florence’s Duomo and is detached from the hustle bustle is one of its great attractions. Utter peace can be found in the vaulted lounges, the exquisite Loggia restaurant open to the hills and city view and in the beautiful semi-formal Italian garden.
