There is one word to describe Villa Florentine, Lyon: “Exceptional” for its service, attentiveness of the staff, cleanliness and location. When we arrived at the Hotel, we were immediately greeted outside the Hotel entrance by Kevin in Guest Relations. We were then given a tour of the hotel’s historic heritage. Our Junior Suite was spacious with several windows overlooking Vieux Old town. The view was amazing especially when the sun rose in the mornings and night lights in the evenings. The staff were so friendly, always greeted us and ready to assist in our dinner plans. The location was ideal within walking distance to the Basilique Notre Dame de Fourviere and the Roman Theater & Museum. Villa Florentine is truly a 5-star hotel. Staying there made our vacation in Lyon a memorable and special experience.

We stayed in the 3 bedroom apartment (we were traveling with a family group). We had a wonderful 4 night stay, and would love to come back. The facility is very nice, and the location is perfect. It has an amazing view yet it is just a few minutes walk to the heart of the old town. But what separates it from other luxury hotels is the warmth and attentiveness of the service. Probably the friendliest service we have ever received, and we have travelled a lot! Quick note on the Michelin restaurant - beautiful view, and very good food, but it didn’t blow us away. That being said the price was very reasonable, so still a very good value.

Villa Florentine is the only place we’ll stay when in Lyon. It was our first time to the city and the bar is set to the highest level for any future visits. Villa Florentine was the cherry on top. The hotel itself is beautiful and the staff are the definition of hospitality. We were fortunate enough to stay in the Médicis quite and WOW, highly recommend booking. Thank you Villa Florentine team for making our stay so memorable.

The hotel has a great location with spectacular views overlooking the Vieux Lyon, all the way to the Alps. Our apartment room was spacious, well-equipped, and worked great for a ten-day stay. A beautiful pool; the entire hotel was very nice. The staff were attentive, friendly, and quickly satisfied all our requests. In our experience, the Villa Florentine is a true 5-star facility, providing a 5-star level of service.
