## The place

Villa San Michele, a Belmond hotel, stands at Via Doccia 4, 50014 Fiesole. The phone is +39 055 567 8200. They place it in the hills above Florence and describe a 15th-century monastery whose facade they attribute to the School of Michelangelo. That attribution is theirs. They publish 36 rooms and suites plus 3 signature suites, and a shorter line of 39. Dining they name includes Antesi, Ristorante San Michele, San Michele Grill, and Bar Doccia. The spa is Villa San Michele Spa by Guerlain. A heated pool looks over the city, as they describe it. A complimentary shuttle runs to the centre. Florence airport is about 30 minutes and Pisa about an hour, as they publish those drives. This is Fiesole, not a door on the Arno. The city is the shuttle. Book on their page. MindReach does not take the reservation.
