Innovative and stylish, La Villa Florentine, Member of Relais & Châteaux, is perched high on a hill and is composed of a selection of historic 16th- and 17th-century buildings. The reception area is housed in the original chapel building, and it's here that you'll first meet the exceptionally amiable staff, most of whom speak English. They'll give pointers for sightseeing and cater to your every whim during your stay. Lounge at the swimming pool or in the hammam, or have a romantic dinner at Michelin-starred Les Terrasses de Lyon.
