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.
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.
Immerse yourself in the art, culture, and natural beauty of Florence and Tuscany: explore the terraced gardens, ancient olive groves, and historic frescoed spaces of the property. Discover Florence’s iconic sights on curated excursions, from Duomo to Ponte Vecchio. Indulge in the Villa San Michele Spa by Guerlain with treatments inspired by nature and centuries-old wellness traditions. Learn the secrets of Tuscan cuisine in hands-on cooking classes, from fresh pasta to traditional desserts. Unwind by the infinity pool or in secret garden corners, soaking in views of Florence and the surrounding hills. For families, interactive experiences, garden exploration, and sensory activities bring Tuscany to life.
