Lyon Fourvière, Villa Florentine

On your right-hand side going down, the Villa Florentine offers a beautiful panoramic view of the city from its terraces. The Villa Florentine was built around 1600. In 1707 it became a convent for a congregation of Trinitarian Sisters. In the twentieth century, the 'Villa' became a luxury hotel and restaurant. It has 28 rooms including nine suites and a huge terrace with a swimming pool overlooking the city. The uniquely decorated rooms combine Renaissance and modern Italian design.
