Villa San Michele

Florence, Italy

Don't be surprised if you wake up feeling a little spiritual after spending the night at Villa San Michele — the place used to be a monastery, after all. But where monks once roamed, a luxury hotel has taken root, allowing common folk to enjoy the fantastic views of the city below. The hotel offers a full range of double rooms, junior and standard suites, and the Limonaia Suite and Villa, which is housed in the former orangery in the Italian gardens. The hotel is also home to a pool with adjoining restaurant and bar, a cooking school, a fitness center, and a bar housed in a former cloister. Oh, and as for unexplained feelings, you might feel a bit of deja vu when sitting down at the San Michele's signature La Loggia restaurant, but that's only because it was used as a filming location for one of the final scenes in The Dark Knight Rises, a fact that we can only imagine has boosted the bar's sales of Fernet Branca.
