Hotel Villa San Michele Amenities
Perched in the foothills of Fiesole overlooking Florence and the lush Arno Valley, this exquisitely preserved hotel was once a 15th century Franciscan monastery. Woodlands and landscaped gardens with lemon trees, roses, and wisteria encircle the property. The hotel’s façade is attributed to Michelangelo, and the stone heraldic emblem of the Davanzati family that once graced the exterior is still on view in the entrance arcade. The Cloister of the old monastery with a 1642 fresco of The Last Supper, and the Cenacolo room, with its fireplace and vaulted ceiling, provide intimate settings for banquets, wedding parties, and business retreats. Alfresco dining is available in fair weather at the San Michelle Restaurant, known for its Italian wines, Tuscan specialties, and sweeping view of the Arno Valley. Restaurant and bar service is also available at the hotel’s 82-foot outdoor pool, which affords a panoramic view of Florence and is open from late spring until early autumn. A modest fitness facility with cardiovascular and weight machines is on premises, and mountain bikes may be rented to explore the surrounding foothills. In-room massage is available upon request. A shuttle service provides frequent access to the historic city of Florence, six miles away.
