A 15th century monastery has now been transformed into one of Europe's most charming and picturesque hotels. A villa of unsurpassed beauty in an oasis of peace, only a few minutes from the centre of Florence. The Villa San Michele has 45 rooms, including 24 suites and junior suites, located in the old monastery building and nestled amid the beautiful gardens, enjoying spectacular views, each with its own unique style and antique furnishings. Relaxing at the Villa San Michele comes naturally with the unmatched views from the panoramic pool, whilst a small gymnasium allows guests to expend some energy without missing the beautiful views. For the more adventurous mountain bikes are available for trips to Fiesole of Florence, where cyclists will find excellent pedestrian areas and cycle tracks. (daily rentals from €50).
