The Hotel
Where Renaissance spirit meets modern indulgence
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 with a selection of 42 breathtaking rooms and suites. 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.
Our Hillside Sanctuary
Enjoy the best of both worlds at Villa San Michele, with sumptuous privacy within Florence’s countryside while remaining a stone’s throw of the vibrant city. Hop on our courtesy shuttle to arrive in the centre within fifteen minutes, or stroll through scenic Fiesole, with its olive groves and shaded woodland.

Strolling though our 16th-century monastery, marvel at the ancient frescoes, vaulted ceilings and characterful cloisters and be enveloped by storied history at every turn.
