The Old Chapel: This beautiful building truly was a chapel, built on the border of the wooded park which surrounds the hotel and once used only for retreat by the monks. After many years of total neglect, it has been brought back to its original aspects and now contains the hotel's most private and secluded room, a true honeymooners' hideaway. From the terrace in the front, a space twice as big as the room itself measuring 50 square metres (525 square feet), the view is truly breathtaking and it expands forever; and from the bed itself the view is no less. The terrace extends with a paved path toward another still more intimate belvedere called 'The Observatory', which leaves one speechless at the beauty of the view.
Executive Junior Suites by the Pool: The exceptional furnishings comprise a relaxing sitting area, with comfortable down-filled chairs and armchairs, a writing desk, and a fully stocked minibar set in a walnut buffet. The king-size bed has a hidden TV set in a wood and mirror box at the foot of the bed. The intimate terrace has astonishing views, an idyllic way to start the day over a delightful Italian breakfast.

 Presidential Suite: Unique. This is the largest and most dramatically Suite of the hotel. Located in the 17th century 'Limonaia' (the former orangerie of the convent), in prime location with breathtaking view over Florence and the sorrounding hills.

The Donatello Suite: Once upon a time the Prior's quarters, it occupies the whole corner of the monastery, with two windows overlooking Florence and the Arno Valley and two windows enjoying the peaceful sight of the Italian Garden and the wooded park - a pole position today as it was in days gone by. A spacious, sunlit, separate sitting room featuring a corner fireplace of exquisite craftsmanship leads into a large, well-appointed bedroom with king size bed, breakfast table and elbow rest chairs. A 16th-century buffet with drawers is available for clients' clothes. |
 The Michelangelo Suite: Inundated by daylight from sunrise to sunset, the Michelangelo Suite stretches the whole length of the façade of the Villa San Michele. Once the monastery library, it became Emporer Napoleon Bonaparte's headquarters in Florence. Today the huge, canopied, king-size bed and the exquisite decorations remain fit for an emporer. By far the Villa's largest and most romantic accommodation, measuring 65m² the undivided sleeping and sitting areas stretch behind the whole length of the façade with two windows on the side of one wall and an even larger one in the front dominating Florence, the Arno Valley and the Chianti Hills.

The bathroom contains a pool-like bathtub, a delight to see and enjoy, and features separate shower and the finest and softest linen and towels.
