"Relaxation and mental escapism take on their full meaning in our outdoor jacuzzi, heated to 38°C and with a panoramic view. Picture yourself comfortably seated in the enveloping warmth of a hydro-massaging bath... Enjoy the spectacle of the majestic Lyon Cathedral and its illuminated façade before your eyes, as well as the visible outlines of the old town's roofs, each one like an invitation to travel. Curled up in a soft dressing gown, continue to unwind on one of our heated marble loungers..."

A journey of the senses

SPA Villa Florentine

Avoid food waste, build longterm relationships with local suppliers, awaken the tastebuds of children and the well-being of employees: Villa Florentine fully honours its commitments.

An ambassador for fresh produce, this establishment is supported by a network of farmers who bring both freshness and proximity. The network extends to include the nearby employment centre, home to an organic market garden that collects organic waste from the kitchens for compost. The Chef also works side by side the primary schools and the CROUS (students’ representative body) to prevent young people being excluded from cuisine and to introduce them to different savours. An opportunity to share his passion for local products, and at the same time a few recipes too.

Atop an enchanting hill, the Villa Florentine offers all the spirit and charm of the Italian Renaissance right in the heart of Lyon. The lush green terraces of this 17th century former convent offer exceptional views of the historical city of Lyon, a Unesco World Heritage site. Period furniture and contemporary works meet in the rooms, havens of peace and softness. An exquisitely calm pool invites you to a voyage of the senses. In the kitchen the chef deploys treasures of refinement and places the culinary focus on the product. At nightfall, the sparkling city lights join together with the stars.

Plan your stay at Villa Florentine

"The Villa Florentine enjoys a wonderful location up in the heights of the city, and reveals, before your eyes, the rooftops typical of Old Lyon, which is listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. At first light, enjoy the spectacle of the sun rising above the Alps mountain range... When the weather is clear, Mont Blanc also makes an appearance. At dusk, as the last rays of sun gently warm the buildings in the city, watch the sparkling lights come alive and gradually mix with the stars. A magical spectacle to experience from our panoramic terrace..."
