What guests think

Across recent reviews of Villa Florentine, A Beauvallon Hotel & Spa, travelers praise the hilltop setting with sweeping views over Lyon, the consistently warm, attentive service, and comfortable rooms—often spacious or well appointed—creating memorable, relaxing stays above Vieux Lyon.

The pool, spa, sauna and hammam are frequently highlighted, with a peaceful atmosphere; parking and the grounds also receive compliments. Location feedback repeatedly notes many stairs and a steep climb, which can challenge some guests, while still being convenient to Old Lyon and the funicular. Breakfast and the on-site restaurant are widely praised for quality and variety, though a few guests found breakfast pricey or room service breakfast average. Best suited to travelers comfortable with stairs seeking a quiet, upscale base for exploring Old Lyon.

Perfect. Staff and hotel are immaculate. Rooms were perfect. Pool area has stunning views across the city. Food was superb, I’ve no suggestions other than an elevator into the old town😊 (on serious note, if you struggle to walk up or down steps you’ll need to get transport to and from hotel)

This property is very pleasant and comfortable. Staff are efficient and friendly. The rooms are well appointed and quiet. Food is well prepared and quite good. Wine service is very good. We would definitely return. Availability of casual food is restricted to later evenings in the week but local restaurants provide other good options. The parking and grounds are perfect.

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.

La chambre était relativement agréable, de même pour la salle de bain malgré un mobilier un peu daté. Le petit déjeuner est correct pour un 5 étoiles mais la salle bien trop petite. Il est dérangeant de devoir accéder au SPA est très bien, le sauna et le hammam sont parfaits. En revanche, il est dommage de devoir traverser la r l'espace est très petit et il serait désagréable d'y être à plus de de 6. Massage agréable mais lorsque l'on paye 150€ pour 1h30, on s'attend à avoir 1h30 de massage et non 1h15. Personnel bien formé et très courtois.

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.

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..

We had an exceptional stay at Villa Florentine and would not hesitate to recommend this hotel. Set in a stunning renovated convent, the room was impeccably clean and the staff consistently attentive. The breakfast was delicious, with lots of variety and healthy options. The steps leading to the hotel helped offset the delicious meals of Lyon. We would not hesitate to stay here again.

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.

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.

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.

The property IS NOT CONVENIENT for those who have problems walking. The property sits on top of a hill and there are MANY steps to walk up or down to get to the property. The day before our departure, we found a street with no steps, but the climb was very steep.
