Reviews for Villa Florentine
A perfectly beautiful setting and hotel tainted by a meh restaurant with horrible service.
Beautiful location situated above the old town, perched on a hill in a converted monestary. I would have given the hotel 5 stars for the beautiful new renovations, lovely room, pristine cleanliness and the perfect pool overlooking city to rest in the hotel afternoons...but the restaurant spoiled the perfect review. We arrived hot and tired from our flight and sat down to a late lunch. We were ignored for 20 minutes while everyone around us was seated, given beverages, served lunch. after 30 minutes a rude hostess/manager explained the kitchen was closed and we could not dine there. The two couples who came in after us ere eating their lunch. She offered a snack cart. The view was beautiful and we were happy to wait, but this woman was so rude and arrogant and I assume had an attitude problem. The food is also expensive and breakfast is $20 euros a person (basket of not the best pastries) and if you add an egg, it is $40 euros a person. Advice is to stay here in this perfect setting and avoid eating at the restaurant.

We only stayed two nights and was pleased we didn’t stay longer
We had previously stayed at this hotel about 20 years ago. We had a much better experience then. The common areas of the hotel are beautiful however, our room was decorated in dark woods and brown colors. The designers should not be allowed to design hotel rooms. The staff was very professional however, the swimming pool area was not maintained very well with bird droppings very visible. I would not consider this a five star establishment!

Hotel Villa Florentine is great, except...
Fantastic views overlooking Lyon, but make sure you get a room with a view - ours was looking onto the street behind the hotel = lousy. We did enjoy the fancy (and expensive) dinner in their restaurant and also lite dinner on the bar patio.

Beautiful hotel and fantastic staff.
What a beautiful hotel. Eating in the restaurant with the amazing view and food that simply didn’t stop coming was a real treat. Comfy beds. Really clean. The staff were fantastic. Couldn’t do more for you. It is based at the top of a significant amount of steps but taxis easily caught up and down. Loved it and would highly recommend.

Lovely Property
Lovely property with very attentive staff. Easy access to Vieux Lyon yet you must be in good shape if strolling the area, stairs and hills.
