Villa San Michele, A Belmond Hotel in Florence is set to undergo a major transformation.
The luxury Italian Renaissance-era hotel is now closed for renovations, which start at the end of 2024 and will continue throughout 2025. Once complete, a grand reopening will be held sometime in 2026.
The overhaul will notably reduce the room count from 42 to 28 guest accommodations, including three signature suites and 28 suites and junior Suites, which will all be redesigned to offer more space, elegance, and sophistication.
The hotel’s reimagining will also feature more terraces and outdoor elements that will both draw upon and restore the building’s historic architecture. Villa San Michele is in the Fiesole hills, a secluded escape from the city while still offering stunning views of the skyline and complimentary shuttles into town.
