Villa San Michele

★★★★★ Exceptional Anniversary Dinner and a Beautiful Property My wife and I recently celebrated our anniversary with dinner at San Michele, and the entire experience was outstanding. The setting is absolutely stunning. We spent time walking the grounds before dinner and were impressed by the beautiful renovations and improvements throughout the property. The attention to detail and commitment to preserving the charm of this special place while enhancing the guest experience is evident everywhere you look. Dinner was excellent, with wonderful food, impeccable service, and a truly memorable atmosphere. A special thank you to Diana, our server, who made the evening even more special. She was warm, professional, attentive, and genuinely invested in making our celebration memorable. She is a tremendous asset to the San Michele team. From the moment we arrived until the end of the evening, everything exceeded expectations. San Michele remains one of our favorite destinations in Italy, and this visit reminded us exactly why. We are already looking forward to returning and staying at this remarkable property again in the future. Highly recommended

Incredible experience! Don’t let the distance to town discourage you. They will shuttle you between town and this is a sanctuary. Every detail is magic! The views, the rooms, the pool, the breakfast and the incredible attention to detail on everything. I’m already dying to come back!

We had a wonderful aperitivo here for my sister’s birthday. The garden is absolutely beautiful and the service was excellent - a big thank you to Matti and manager Luciano!

Villa San Michele is truly a remarkable hotel, set on the hills above Florence, offering a spectacular view of the city. Location The hotel is housed in a stunning historical building, about 20-30 minutes drive from Florence’s old center. While it’s not within walking distance of major attractions, its peaceful setting away from the city crowds is a major plus. Fortunately, the hotel provides a complimentary shuttle service, though you’ll need to plan around their schedule. We managed to use it every day of our stay, which made getting into the city quite convenient. Rooms The rooms are decorated in a classic Italian style spacious and elegant, though personally, I prefer a more modern design. However, if you appreciate traditional Italian decor, these rooms will be perfect for you. Breakfast & Service Breakfast was outstanding, both in quality and presentation. The staff was incredibly friendly, offering detailed explanations about the food. And the view from the breakfast area? Simply breathtaking. The Hotel & Atmosphere The real highlight of Villa San Michele is the hotel itself. The historical architecture, combined with beautifully maintained gardens, creates an unforgettable atmosphere. I could easily spend an entire day just exploring the hotel and admiring its design. Final Thoughts Although it’s not located in the heart of Florence, Villa San Michele is undoubtedly one of the nicest hotels I’ve ever stayed at. If you’re looking for a luxurious and tranquil retreat with an unbeatable view, I highly recommend spending a few days here while visiting Florence.

Ideal hotel to get the best of a city break and rural escape. Wonderful to visit Florence having enjoyed the amazing big picture view that the hotel provides. The food at the main restaurant has especially good Tuscan cooking. Service is faultless as you'd expect. I especially enjoyed having a drink on the lawn - really great cocktails (although I didn't like the presentation of their specials using fans, which felt clunky -- small note!) My only other note is that as a solo traveller they didn't quite nail the experience: reminding staff that it's just me a few too many times. Apart from this thanks for a wonderful stay!
