Formerly a 15th Century Franciscan monastery, the Villa San Michele is surrounded by its own gardens and woodland on the Fiesole hills.

The present aspect of the building, with its façade attributed to Michelangelo and the imposing lateral Loggia looking towards Florence, dates from the year 1600, when the monastery was enlarged and completely renovated at the expense of Giovanni di Bartolomeo Davanzati.

The superbly appointed and elegantly furnished guest rooms with marble bathrooms enjoy views over the Italian garden, the private woodland and the hils of Fiesole.

Renowed for its cuisine the Loggia Terrace Restaurant provides one of the most unique venues in Europe, overlooking Florence and the Arno Valley. Emphasis is placed on the typical Tuscan cuisine of the region. Home made pasta, mushrooms and meat are the house specialities.

Lesiure and sport facilities include an open air heated swimming pool with spectacular views of Florence from late spring to early autumn. For the more energetic a gymnasium offers various weights and cardio vascular machines.
