The Villa San Michele a Doccia, situated on the hill of Fiesole, is named after the church St. Micheal the Archangel. The 15th Century monastery has now been transformed into one of Europe’s most charming and picturesque hotels. This is a villa of unsurpassed beauty in an oasis of peace and is only a few minutes from the centre of Florence.

There are 46 Guest rooms including 25 suites and Junior Suites located in the old monastery building and nestled amid the beautiful gardens, each with its own unique style and antique furnishings. The Junior Suites with private garden and terrace, the chapel, the “Orangerie” Limonaia Suites and all rooms located above the Loggia enjoy spectacular views over the city of Florence and the Arno valley.

Enjoy typical Tuscan cuisine, sumptuous Italian wines and impeccable service at the San Michele Restaurant. During warmer months these culinary delights are best savoured in the romantic al-fresco surrounds of the Loggia, whilst in the cooler months dine in the Cloister and the Cenacolo room.

The hotel boasts a Cookery School, an open-air 82ft heated swimming pool open from late Spring to early Autumn, gymnasium as well as nearby golf, tennis and horseriding.
