Overview

|
This ancient monastery has been designed by Michelangelo and transformed into a hotel of superb beauty protected by the Italian National Trust Monuments. The monastery remained the property of the Franciscans until 1808 when the monastic orders were dissolved by Napoleon and in 1817, it returned to secular use a comprehensive restoration of the buildings was embarked with the Florence Fine Arts Authority.
The Villa San Michele has 46 rooms, including 25 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.
We suggest Donatello Suite: Once upon a time the Prior's quarters, it occupies the whole corner of the monastery, with views over Florence and the Arno Valley and the Italian Garden and the wooded park. The Michelangelo Suite: Drenched in daylight from sunrise to sunset, the Michelangelo Suite stretches the whole length of the façade of the Villa San Michele. Suite Limonaia: This suite was created from the 17th century "Limonaia" - the former orangerie of the Monastery -, in a prime location with breathtaking view over Florence and the surrounding hills.
