A very pleasant and civilized stay in a Relais & Chateaux property. Perched high on the hill above Lyon, steps down to Vieux Lyon, this hotel housed in a former convent is warm and comfortable, well staffed and managed by a wonderful gentleman, M Jerome Montanteme. We were greeted upon arrival with a cool drink and showed to our spacious... More

This property is perched half way up Fourviere Hill above Vieux Lyon and not far from the Gallo Roman amphitheatre and museum (well worth a visit). The public areas are very pleasantly decorated and the Les Terraces, the hotel’s one star restaurant, has a brilliant view over the city – the food by the way was also very good. The... More

I just came back from my visit to Lyon. I chose this place due to wonderful reviews and it is Relais Chateaux property. The hotel, perched on a hill, has a spectacular view of the city. Upon arrival, we were personally welcomed by the manager and assistant manager, and a glass of champaign. One nice young man personally took us... More

Thanks to Tripadvisor we found Villa Florentine...My wife and I were truyly enchanted by the composition of such elegant and warm small hotel...Of course, all this would not have been possible if not, by the charming "Directeur General" Jerome Montainteme...What a dedicated professional...Watching him at the hotel was like seeing the Director of a fine Symphony Orchestra..No doubt he loved...

From the moment our taxi arrived, until the manager waved us goodbye two days later, the service in this hotel was impeccable. All the staff were willing and anxious to help, and took pride in their beautiful hotel. Our room was very large, and well decorated and furnished, if not necessarily to my taste. It had a good seating area,... More

Characterful, elegant hotel (was once a convent). Very friendly, helpful and welcoming staff. The meet and greet at the door was a very good touch. Perfect panaoramic view over Lyon and towards the alps. The roof terrace is perfect for drinks and watching the sun rise and set. You do feel "far from the madding crowd" down in the town... More

Hotel set in the side of the hills over looking Lyon, very sophisticated hotel for those looking to spenda bit more to be somewhere more secluded. In house Michelin starred restaurant, should book in advance. Highly recommend having an aperitif outside if weather permits, over looking the bustling city. Be aware the hotel is up a steep hill, taxis or... More

We came here for our 40th wedding anniversary . From the welcome fruit juice and macaroons on the balcony when we arrived to our departure when our luggage was taken straight from our room to the taxi, we felt thoroughly pampered, We had one swim in the rooftop pool whiuch we enjoyed. The breakfasts were delicious and we enjoyed watching... More

Stayed one night last night and this is a really interesting hotel - listed building full of character. Welcome was one of the best I have had and hotel manager even came outside to see me off. Junior Suite (room 14) and was huge- really nice room and interesting layout given the shape of the building. Perhaps could do with... More
