Villa San Michele, A Belmond Hotel, Florence

Michelangelo himself is said to have had a hand in the design of the Villa San Michele, a former 15th century monastery that has been expertly transformed into a stunning boutique hotel. The location high in the Tuscan hills affords breathtaking views of Florence, one of the many reasons why we think this is one of Italy’s most romantic hotels.

"For some people a city break is all about being in the thick of things, but we much prefer having a tranquil base within easy reach of the sights, and that’s exactly what you get at the Villa San Michele."

"If you want to take a taste of Italy home with you then sign up for the cookery school with Executive Chef Attilio Di Fabrizio, where you can learn some of the secrets of Tuscan cuisine."

"We love the imaginative array of excursions on offer at Villa San Michele, including Vespa tours, mixology classes and hot air balloon rides."

"The incredible views of Florence and the secluded setting make this a great destination for honeymooners, or for couples celebrating a special anniversary."

"There’s a great range of restaurants; my top tip is book a table at Ouzo for a truly Greek experience. For even more options, we recommend you use the shuttle bus to travel into the old town and dine out at one of the restaurants included in the All-Inclusive plan."

"Definitely look to book some treatments at the world-class Ikos Spa by Anne Semonin, a totally relaxing hideaway - There’s some great shopping to be had in nearby Corfu Old Town, but try to avoid the cruise ship day-trippers so you have the pick of the treasures."

"Upgrading to the Deluxe Collection suites brings with it a range of extra perks, including access to the exclusive beach area and upgraded service and toiletries, as well as minibar amenities.”
