Up in the hills above Florence, Michelangelo designed this 16th-century monastery's façade; da Vinci worked on his flying machines in the estate's woodlands. Now given the full Belmond treatment, Villa San Michele balances deep historical roots with modern Italian flair, long alfresco dinners, a summer pool, an artist in residence each year, and espressos that beat negronis in the evening.

8:09 AM
We love breakfast in bed (make the most of the room service), followed by an al-fresco espresso taken in the garden. This is the best view to watch the city wake up.
9:48 AM
It’s only a quick 15-minute shuttle into the city. Ask the team to plan out your day – from where to find the best pasta to which artist studios you can go behind the scenes in.
12:30 PM
A Tuscan trattoria can’t be beaten – we love Trattoria Camillo (order the ribollita) or for something a little more casual, the paninis at ‘Ino are a must-try and have half the queue at All’Antico Vinaio just around the corner.
3:22 PM
Make a beeline back to the hotel and claim some sun beds by the pool. Beat the Tuscan heat - floral umbrellas and a strong bar menu mean this is a spot you'll want to stay at for a few hours.
6:36 PM
We don’t make the rules – you’re in Italy, so an aperitivo is practically mandatory. Stretch out on the lawn with a negroni and watch over the city as the sun sets.
8:00 PM
This is a special affair. Find your seat under the arches at La Loggia for a smart set menu or opt for Ristorante San Michele if you're after a more laidback time, plus we love the signature pasta made with chickpeas and scampi. Don’t skip dessert either.

History is preserved and highlighted. Inside, there is Renaissance-style furniture from Bologna and a beautiful mosaic from Pompeii, to name a few.
Villa San Michele has really championed the Tuscan landscape by crafting and curating a natural terrain and gardens all around the property.
Everything is very local – from the ingredients in the kitchen, the makers and artisans in the design and the friendly Florentine team.
