We stayed in early May and the air conditioning had not been turned on for the summer. When we arrived I thought that the heating unit had been left on, the room was so hot. The temp outside was in the mid 80's and at night we had to keep the windows open (sunrise around 4:30 am with lots of... more

I stopped here for lunch a few years back and decided to stay next time i went. We stayed in the napolean library suite. It was very original. I wouldn't say that the hotel is on par with a four seasons, because it is a different animal. If you are looking for traditional european elegance with incredible views of Florence... more

My husband and I just came back from spending 5 glorious nights at Villa San Michele. It was my first tiem to Italy an they made it spectacular! I envisioned being in the country and in privacy and surrounded by beauty...and that's exactly what I got there. Our room was magnificent, the staff was very accomodating, our view was out... more

Second time at this hotel and a pleasure 2nd time around. The location is fabulous - above the hussle and bussle and heat of florence but only a 20min drive away from the centre. The atmosphere is very welcoming, the staff are delightful over the top italian....everyone is beautiful, nothing is too much trouble and all make an effort to... more

Me and my partner stayed at Villa San Michele for 3 nights in May 08. The hotel is beautifully located on the hillside of Florence but it does need some updating when it comes to furnishings. Our room had a gorgeous view of Florence but knowing how expensive the hotel is the room looks more like a 3,5* than a... more

Unfortunately we didn't stay at the hotel but I took my husband to Florence for his 40th birthday and booked dinner on the balcony at VSM. I had spoken with the hotel previously to arrange a special dessert as a surprise. The hotel was fantastic in helping arrange our special evening. I chose the Limoncello Souffle to which there was... more

If you have more money than sense, and don't mind a trip back to the 1970s, then you'll love Villa San Michele. If you are under 50, and not yet a millionaire, save your money and look elsewhere. Our bedroom was as well furnished as my grandmother's. Quality, I suppose, but of another era. The old-fashioned TV rising out of... more

I took my boyfriend here for 3 nights for his 30th birthday and had a wonderful stay apart from the first day. We arrived after our flight being delayed for 3 hours and our baggage being badly damaged and ready to relax! The receptionist took us all the way up a winding path to the little chapel and got inside... more

Having read some of the reviews on the Villa San Michele I do wonder if I have been staying at the same hotel. If there is a better hotel with better service in Europe let alone Italy I have yet to stay in it. I recently spent a week at the hotel with my wife and two daughters aged 6... more
