Live the Renaissance charm above Florence, savor Tuscan flavors, explore centuries of history, and relax in serene luxury at Belmond Villa San Michele

Journey to the hills above Florence and discover a timeless Italian retreat. Perched on the scenic Fiesole hill, Belmond Villa San Michele blends history, art, and nature to create a sanctuary of elegance and calm. From its Renaissance façade to its terraced gardens, every corner reveals Florence in a new light — from sun-drenched cityscapes to rolling Tuscan hills. This is Florence at its most enchanting: refined, intimate, and profoundly inspiring.

Within this former 15th-century Franciscan monastery (circa 1418–1420), you’ll find a harmonious mix of historical grandeur and modern comfort. Frescoes, vaulted ceilings, antique woodwork, and classic stone details preserve the soul of the monastery, while contemporary interiors, luxurious suites, gourmet dining, and Belmond’s signature service offer effortless sophistication. At Villa San Michele, life moves gently — a place where sunsets linger, olive trees sway, and every moment feels suspended in Tuscan magic.

History & Legacy

Perched above Florence on the historic Fiesole hill, Villa San Michele began as a 15th-century Franciscan monastery and flourished over the centuries as a center of art, spirituality, and culture. Its Renaissance façade and loggia, attributed to Michelangelo’s school, reflect centuries of architectural mastery. After becoming a private residence, the property was transformed into a Belmond hotel, preserving the monastery’s soul while offering luxurious modern comfort.


Wander through cloisters, terraces, and frescoed halls, sip a glass of Chianti overlooking the city, or enjoy quiet reflection amid centuries-old olive trees and gardens. Every detail celebrates the intersection of history, nature, and Tuscan elegance, making Villa San Michele a destination where time seems to slow, and every moment feels deeply Italian.
