Reviews for Villa Florentine
Excellent short stay
Needed a one night stay in Lyon and this lovely hotel filled the bill with grace and style. Will absolutely come back for a longer stay to explore.

Loved It!
What's not to love about the Villa Florentine? Spacious, historic, clean, beautifully perched above Lyon with stunning city views, we thoroughly enjoyed our two nights here. Front desk staff was welcoming and helpful. Conciere recommendations were spot on. Our Suite 3 was gorgeous, with a huge terrace....a lovely place to relax after days of sightseeing. Breakfast was fine - not extraordinary - but no real complaints - - just not a stand out.

Beautiful Views, Rooms, and City
Our 3 day stay at Villa Florentine was perfect. We couldn’t have asked for better service and the views and rooms were spectacular. Thankfully we were in shape 65 year olds and were able to walk the steps and steep roads to get to and from the Old Town and up to the Basilica. And we used a few Ubers to get home late when our legs had given out. There wasn’t any bar service in the lobby but the restaurant would serve there. Just wish there would have been some less expensive options for wine. But this wasn’t a problem since we just enjoyed our wine in the excellent restaurants.

A gem of a hotel in Lyon
Villa Florentine is a marvelous hotel. Staff - warm, welcoming, thoughtful and so helpful. Beautiful panorama of Lyon from the hilltop, beautiful rooms. A historic building itself, long ago a Celestine convent, and the wonderfully preserved frescos adorn the lobby. The Michelin-starred restaurant is wonderful, as is the breakfast. I should note if you are not a walker, getting to and from the historic old town sites and the rest of the city of Lyon will require a taxi or Uber, which is easy enough to get. We enjoyed the staircases and winding hilly streets, and riding the funicular up the hill in the evening with a 10-15 minute walk downhill to the hotel, but if you have mobility challenges the hilltop location is a consideration. We hope to return to Lyon and stay at the Villa Florentine again, it made our days in Lyon absolutely marvfelous!

Five Stars in all aspects!
Incredible hotel. Beautiful room, grounds, view, and incredible staff. I must say that this is the best smelling hotel I have ever been in, just amazing. The staff always responded very quickly to my emails and were always ready to assist in any way we required. The restaurant is first rate as well.
