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 recognized as one of the country’s finest small boutique hotels. Stroll in the Italian gardens, bursting with lemon trees and fragrant roses, and savor superb Tuscan cuisine on the alfresco loggia as if in a private home.
Within a ten minute drive from Florence airport, you are transported into a mountainous landscaped retreat that evokes something of Beverly Hills, though looking out over legitimate ancient artifacts. After all, this was where Leonardo Da Vinci first tested his ornithopter in the early 1480’s.
