My husband and I decided to spend the weekend (Easter weekend, or "paque", as it turned out) in Lyon -- we had just finished a week in Paris with our goddaughter and her mom, and I had to be in London the following week for work. We chose the Villa Florentine based on TripAdvisor and other online reviews. We took... More

Though slightly inconvenient because of it site on top of a hill overlooking Lyon it more than makes up for it with stunning views and exceptional service. The walk down to the old town, which is very charming, is by steps, several choices, and is easy but going up is for the fit. It is not hard to find a... More

We stayed there one night after we stayed at Abbaye de la Bussiere in Burgandy, both Relais and Chateaux properties. Since we did not have a good experience at Abbaye it was a very good contrast between the two properties. The minute we arrived there we were pleasantly surprised by the staff's friendliness and eagerness to help. Then General Manager... More

I stayed at this lovely hotel in the older part of Lyon while on a business trip. The accomodations were made by our local hosts who is quite familiar with the gastronomy of the area.

This is an absolute gem of a hotel, set high above Lyons with dramatic views across the rooftops from the restaurant. This is hotel and fine dining at its best. The bedrooms were large, quiet and well appointed, the service is impeccable and seemingly effortless. We were greeted with a welcome drink as we checked in which is a nice... More

Hotel was beautiful! The management was very accommodating...there was a mix up with our room and they handled it right away and gave us a great upgrade, the pool is nice and the views are insane! I would eat out side the hotel and beware of the million stairs to get up to the hotel...you can cab it or walk... More

My daughter and I stayed in this beautiful restored convent atop the big hill in Old Lyon. You are treated as a VIP from the moment you enter the beautiful lobby, as the hotel staff provides you with a refreshing drink on the terrace as they do the paperwork for your check-in. The staff speak many languages and are happy... More

I had to book a last minute trip to Lyon for business and was fortunate that there weren't any other hotels with availability. This was truly a first rate experience and I only had two days to enjoy while still working. The rooms and amenities were incredible - large - which in Europe is uncommon. The bathroom alone was huge... More

Villa Florentine is beautiful. The old abbey has been decorated with every attention to detail. The views across Lyon are breathtaking, it is an easy walk down stairs to the old village where you get lost in the old world charm. The staff are extremely helpful and take a little extra time to chat. Anne (Assistant Mgr) was very friendly... More
