@theliber Florence is a city budding with phenomenal hotels. From last year’s @collegioauberge opening to the fan-favourite (and 50Best top pick) @fsflorence, there’s no shortage of great hospitality in Italy’s capital of culture. But for the last 18 months, there has been, quite literally, a missing piece in the luxury hotel landscape. Perched atop the hills of Fiesole, with arguably the best view of the city, @belmondvillasanmichele, like most great buildings in Italy, has a history of varied tenants and use-cases. What sets this one apart, however, is that it was chosen, back in 1808, as Napoleon’s headquarters during the French occupation of Florence. And while 218 years later, @belmond has resumed its life as a hotel – newly renovated and better than ever – the same beauty that drew the little Frenchman to set up shop in its ancient walls has not been lost.
