Villa Florentine, Lyon

Placed on the hill of Fourvière, the Villa Florentine is the darling of certain of politicians. It must be said that it oozes charm. This is a four star hotel with everything you would expect in terms of comfort and quality of services on offer, but at the Villa Florentine you also have one of the most beautiful views of the town and the calm of Montee St Barthelemy. Go down the road, and you are in the heart of old Lyon, climb up and you take in the whole view of the town, sitting on a bench of the majestic basilica de Fourvière. The hotel rooms are elegantly done up in warm hues. You can also host your business and private events at the hotel's meeting rooms. The in-house: Terasse de Lyon, is a fine diner's dream come true, with its exotic cuisine and extensive wine list.
