Villa San Michele is truly a special and unique venue, which embodies the epitome of Renaissance lifestyle and character. The hotel and grounds are absolutely stunning leaving you with a feeling that you are living in the renaissance era while having all modern amenities. The venue is located in the countryside perched atop the rolling Tuscan hills with an incredible view of Florence and the famous Coppola. The hotel and gardens are impeccably maintained leaving guests with a relaxing, calming retreat style feeling. The staff are extremely friendly and the service is second to none. A remarkable property that is unparalleled. The rooms are beautiful and clean and, as is standard for a belmond, apportioned with all the amenities you could ever dream of. We will definitely be returning for future visits/vacations. Thank you Belmond for, once again, exceeding our expectations.

We had the most amazing stay at this hotel. My husband and I arrived and the concierge Adriana. I think. She set us up with a wine tasting and pizza cooking class that was perfect for us. Small Italian owned and gave you a real feel for the countryside. She also showed us a hiking path from the hotel. Above and beyond service. We stayed in some fancy hotels and this stay was BY FAR our favorite ❤️ thank you.

Disappointing service

Somewhat disappointed unfortunately. A lot of things simply could have been better. Particularly service. On Thursday 17th September the service was extremely poor. By the evening of Saturday 19th things were improving. Just not the standard expected. Not enough staff. Staff clearly very over worked. Lack of management evident. Puts us off Belmond. We picked this property over the Four Seasons and in hindsight would not have done so. Go here for dinner and the view.
