Concierge.com's insider take:
One of Italy's most exclusive hotels enjoys an incomparable setting on a hillside just below Fiesole to the north of Florence's city center (takes 20-25 minutes by car). Originally a 15th-century monastery, this patrician villa was ennobled by a facade designed by Michelangelo. The public spaces and 46 rooms are filled with glorious antiques and paintings, and an aura of the past combines with tasteful, understated luxury to create an exclusive, but not pompous, atmosphere. The gardens are a delight, and in warm weather you can dine outside, under the loggia looking down onto the city. The atmosphere is quite hushed since most of the guests are well-heeled tourists, but the discretion of the immaculate staff and the fact that the hotel is removed from the hubbub of the city means that it is the first choice of plenty of famous names too.
