Surrounded by lush trees and terraced gardens with views down to Florence, our location is hard to beat. Step inside and experience the beauty of a Renaissance monastery that is as much a part of Italy's culture as the country’s greatest cathedrals and galleries.
Today, Villa San Michele is recognised as one of the country’s finest small boutique hotels. Stroll in the Italian gardens, bursting with lemon trees and fragrant roses, and savour superb Tuscan cuisine on the alfresco loggia as if in a private home.
Every step brings a new discovery
We wanted to bring this historic space to life… By creating new and visually different art, we aim to bring renewed beauty and inspiration to the hotel.
Renaissance grandeur meets contemporary drama with street art installations, found across our hotel and gardens. General Manager Emanuele Manfroi and his team aspire to bring new, fresh energy to Villa San Michele with an installation that echoes Florence’s contrast of rich history and cutting-edge modern art.
Staying with us turns a trip to Florence into an unforgettably unique escape. Here are just some of the features that make us stand out from the crowd.
