The Villa was elegant, comfortable, and clean. Felt taken care of from the moment we arrived until departure. The views from the Villa were breathtaking and overlooked the city and river. A short walk to Old Lyon and the Roman ruins. The staff was excellent - Nicoli (concierge) was amazing and made great meal recommendations in Old Lyon. Would absolutely stay here again.

Villa Florentine was fabulous!! The location is amazing, the views over Lyon are lovely and the location is perfect. We were greeted by very friendly staff with welcome drinks and pastries and then a 30 minute history lesson and chat with the manager Emmanuel. It really made us feel welcome and was wonderful. Our room was also upgraded which we appreciated. Staying at Villa Florentine was an experience we will remember and we would certainly go back and recommend this Relais et Chateau hotel.

Fantastic location for enjoying Lyon. A quick walk (down many stairs) to best restaurants and to explore Lyon. Close to funicular to Fourvier. Worried about climbing those stairs to return? There are plenty of Huber rides for 12-15 euro, a value for two sets of old knees.
