Villa Florentine, A Beauvallon Hotel & Spa

We enjoyed our stay at this fabulous 5 star hotel in early September 2025 The hotel is situated on a hill with panaromic views over the city of Lyon. On arrival we were given complementary drinks to enjoy the view from the terrace. Our BMW was perfectly parked for us by Quinto. The hotel receptionist Luna made us feel very welcome and persuaded us to dine in the Hotel’s Michelin Restaurant which was needless to say, enjoyable. The rooms were large and modern. The heated outdoor swimming pool, pool area with parasols, and sauna , have beautiful views over the old city of Lyon and its Cathedral. These spa facilities are open late – possibly 24 x 7 which is refreshing for those who want to relax and enjoy the vista. We were impressed by the outstanding service provided by the hotel staff througout our stay and would like to say a special thank you to the charming Danish Manageress – Anne. We will definitely stay here again.

Terrific service!

The staff was incomparable! So incredibly helpful and accommodating! Anne was very thoughtful, friendly and, above all, helpful!! The A/C in our room did not work and it was extremely hot, so we were moved to another room with EXCELLENT air conditioning and we were super grateful!! Thank you, Villa Florentine!

Amazing place!! Beautiful views, comfortable and spacious room, great pool, friendly and helpful staff. What more can you wish for? We’re definitely coming back!

An amazing hotel in the hills of Lyon. Wonderful hospitality and welcome from staff and manager. Great history! Excellent restaurant with views.

Amazing property. Service incredible food amazing. But be aware that the Michelin restaurant there doesn’t guarantee seats for guests. Breakfast is expensive but worth it.

Had a great stay

Room was immaculate and absolutely beautiful. Pool and area around hotel were fantastic. Staff was incredibly helpful and knowledgeable.

The hotel was beautiful, the staff were friendly but they did not offer us any kind of service in terms of things such as a shuttle in or out of town, there were bikes in the foyer but they did not offer or explain them to us. They did not show us around the hotel or show us the spa or restaurant. There were a lot of people working but they mainly just smiled and greeted us and asked us about our day, they were polite and friendly but not much more.

Amazing stay. Everything was great, but the service made the stay exceptional.

Villa Florentine was nice but not as upscale as some of the other Relais & Chateau properties I have stayed at. The room service breakfast was not very good and overpriced. The layout of the suite was difficult with the bed upstairs and the bathroom downstairs. The staff were extremely accommodating and friendly.

Phenomenal place and awesome service Highly recommend

Incredible hotel ! We are experienced travelers and this is in the top 10 of hotels we have stayed at and the value is incredible for the luxurious hotel !

Wonderful hotel in Lyon it was a fantastic stay for my husband and I. Very beautiful, the rooms are super comfortable with a nice terrace to sit outside. Staff was wonderful!!! So friendly and attentive. Highly recommend this hotel while visiting Lyon.

Absolutely amazing hotel. The facilities were great, and the apartment was beautiful. On top of that we received food & beverage gifts and the service was absolutely top class.

Perfect stay for our anniversary.

The staff was lovely. They made us dinner reservations at amazing places. We took advantage of the sauna/steam/massages. All great. Excellent buffet style breakfast with additional ability to order omelets and crepes. The room was super clean and beds were comfortable.

Best service and consierge group

Truly extraordinary service. A few may meet them, but nothing better. As much as I travel and use premium properties for my stays these hotel’s concierge service is at the top of their game. This is the first time I’ve had housekeeping take the pile of clothing I leave everyday on top of the spare bed, neatly fold it and place it a top of the the drawer counter. As good as it gets..

Stayed two nights. The room was very quiet, the view from the room was great giving a look over the city. The employees where very happy to help and jump in anytime we needed anything. They even called us to make sure we were able to eat despite our late arrival on day 1. Do not hesitate this hotel is wonderful. One of the best in Lyon!

Spur of the moment change in our Christmas/NYE plans and couldn’t be happier with our choice. Absolutely wonderful experience. Beautiful hotel and the staff was so welcoming and helpful. Great location. Thank you

Excellent service

Beautiful hotel with a nice breakfast Buffet. I would stay here again and again!

Beautiful hotel; stunning views, friendly staff.

Villa Florentine was fabulous!! The location is amazing, the views over Lyon are lovely and the location is perfect. We were greeted by very friendly staff with welcome drinks and pastries and then a 30 minute history lesson and chat with the manager Emmanuel. It really made us feel welcome and was wonderful. Our room was also upgraded which we appreciated. Staying at Villa Florentine was an experience we will remember and we would certainly go back and recommend this Relais et Chateau hotel.

Fantastic location for enjoying Lyon. A quick walk (down many stairs) to best restaurants and to explore Lyon. Close to funicular to Fourvier. Worried about climbing those stairs to return? There are plenty of Huber rides for 12-15 euro, a value for two sets of old knees.

Gorgeous 2 story room but with limited view which we nonetheless enjoyed. Only drawback was bathroom was down curving stairs. All employees friendly, helpful and gracious!

This was simply one of, perhaps THE, finest hotels at which I have ever stayed. Perfect in every way.

This centuries old building is filled with history, the building itself and the scenery are stunning. It is truly a 5 star hotel, the rooms are luxurious and most of them offer a breathtaking view over Lyon. The staff is classy and helpful, the lobby is gorgeous. The only downside in my opinion is the gym, only a small room with 3 cheap treadmills, not enough for those who are looking for a real workout. Nevertheless, the elegant and sophisticated atmosphere make this place a true 5 star experience.

The Villa was elegant, comfortable, and clean. Felt taken care of from the moment we arrived until departure. The views from the Villa were breathtaking and overlooked the city and river. A short walk to Old Lyon and the Roman ruins. The staff was excellent - Nicoli (concierge) was amazing and made great meal recommendations in Old Lyon. Would absolutely stay here again.

Amazing place to stay This what we call luxury and 5 big stars !!! Great job guys Thank you

A beautiful hotel in a wonderful neighbourhood of a fascinating city…! Great views and very kind staff.
