Beautiful Hotel
Villa Florentine is a beautiful hotel in a great part of Lyon; we loved being so close to the "old town" part of the city with its great authentic restaurants and shops. The service at the hotel was top notch. Every one was friendly and helpful from the General Manager on down. They greeted us with a couple of glasses of champagne and we felt very welcomed. We had dinner at the Michelin star Terrasses de Lyon. We had a fabulous dinner; we liked the chef's contemporary twists on classic Lyon cuisine such as Quenelle. The only reason I didn't give Villa Florentine a 5 instead of a 4 is we had a small problem with the temperature control in our room. In fairness, Lyon got a bit of an unexpected warm spell in October and the hotel and already turned off the AC. But our room got into the high 70 degrees F and the hotel said they could not turn the AC back on. The recommended solution was to open the french doors to our large deck, but Lyon also had a bit of a mosquito problem so we couldn't do that for long. I also didn't want critters running into our room in the middle of the night while we slept. We got through it, but with global warming I think the hotel has to prepare for unexpected warmth outside of the summer months.

Charming getaway in a beautiful setting
Lovely weekend for 2 at Villa Florentine! The ambiance, service, and amenities made for an enjoyable stay. My only small reservations were that the shower was a bit tight, and there was no air-conditioning, which would have been appreciated for added comfort. Overall, a charming experience in a beautiful setting.

Stunning venue, great service and great food. It is not an ordinary hotel, but it is an experience to be enjoyed.

Excellent stay in a beautiful and historic property
This beautiful and historic hotel is in a wonderful location, which stunning views over Lyon. My husband and I stayed for two nights in the stunning Medicis Suite and wish we could have stayed longer. The hotel is midway up a very tall hill - great for walking! That allows for the stunning views. Our suite was beautifully appointed and after long days of exploring was a haven. The restaurant onsite is wonderful - delicious food and lovely presentation. Breakfast was very nice as well and was included with our stay. The level of service at this property is excellent - every person we encountered was so very helpful. The manager was very kind to share with us the amazing history of the building, which was at one time a church and convent! We highly recommend this property, which though in the midst of the city felt very tranquil.

Top of Lyon
We will definitely come back for another stay at that lovely place. Great experience from check-in to check-out. Fantastic view on Lyon, very close to the beautiful basilique and the old town.
