On the Fourvière hill, majestically dominating the Saône, the Villa Florentine saw the day in the middle of the XVIIth century. A former convent featuring superb frescoes, the Villa was preserved by the subtle marriage of the charm of Italy during the Renaissance with contemporary design. Classified as a "Historical Monument", this Villa offers an exceptional panorama of Lyon: a warm and intimate atmosphere with an enchanting quietude. The terrace gardens where blossoming gardens marvelously intertwine with sculptures, make the Villa an authentic haven of peace a and greenery in the heart of Lyon.

The Villa offers 28 elegantly decorated rooms with tastefully vibrant colours, where period piece furnishings and contemporary pieces thrive together in utmost harmony. The Standard Rooms, Suites or Junior Suites each reveal a personalised charm: mezzanine, individual terrace, and living room area. The Villa also has fitness room at its guests' disposal, as well as a hammam, an exterior pool, and a body-care room. Each rooms comes equipped with a marble or tiled bathroom, air-conditioning or heating, a mini-bar, a direct telephone line, television set, and a hi-fi stereo system.
