If you have the opportunity to stay at this wonderful villa - you will never forget the experience. The atmosphere is incredible. Short jitney ride to Firenze. Quite expensive but most of the better things in life are.

What a great hotel away from the hustle and bustle. We had a fabulous room with a huge bathroom that seemed to be built into the side of a hill. Room 62.... Nice! When we arrived we had cocktails in the garden. I could have lounged there for days soaking up the beauty and seeing Florence in the distance. This... More

We stayed at Villa San Michele for 4 nights on our honeymoon. The hotel staff was genuinely courteous. However, the rooms are dated and definitely not worth a 5 star rating. Our room in particular (#30) had no ventilation, worn furniture, a rock-hard bed and thread bare towels. If this is Orient Expresse's interpretation of a quality hotel, I would... More

What a way to stay in Florence! Sitting under the arches of the al fresco dining area, and looking at Florence below, is worth whatever exorbitant price the hotel usually charges for anything. We were extraordinarily well looked after by everyone. The general manager greeted us twice, and all the staff remembered us by name. The pool area is wonderfully... More

Were here for a diner. View was excellent. All Florence at a glance. While food was very ordinary. I would not say they have 2 Michelene stars - nothing special. Very difficult to get by car - no parking.

From the time of check in - Adriano so friendly - we were made to feel welcome and at home ...an elegant, not glitzy, yet so comfortable home - being there felt like you were drinking a fabulous bottle of a great older vintage of wine. We had booked a nice room to get beautiful views from the main building... More
