Villa Florentine Lyon Review
Offering a luggage room and a restaurant, the 5-star Villa Florentine Lyon is merely 5 minutes' walk from Musee Gadagne Museum. The luxury hotel lies in 5th arr., which surrounds the ornate Basilique Notre Dame de Fourvière and centuries-old Cathédrale Saint-Jean-Baptiste, noted for its astronomical clock, not very far from such cultural sights as the municipal Museum of Fine Arts of Lyon.
The Villa Florentine provides a free buffet breakfast in the restaurant. Featuring a spacious terrace, Terrasses de Lyon restaurant serves European cuisine. There is also a garden bar that overlooks the city. You can try European cuisine in a restaurant which is located very close by.
The smoke-free accommodation is in the heart of the city, a 5-minute ride from La Part-Dieu Mall, and about a 10-minute walk from Cordeliers tube station. Standing 8 minutes on foot from the minor basilica "Basilique Notre Dame de Fourviere", the Villa Florentine Lyon is quite close to the large square "Place Bellecour".
This Lyon property is also a stroll from Alps. Villa Florentine allows you to enjoy such natural sights as the large urban park "Parc de la Tete d'Or" nearly 10 minutes' drive away.

The accommodation is 5 minutes' walk from Romain Rolland bus station.
Leisure options include facials, a steam room, and massage therapy along with chargeable facilities like a summer terrace and a community pool.
