THE HEART OF THE FASCINATING CITY OF LYON
Nature, serenity, tranquillity, gentleness, charm, peace, calm, history, delicacy, courtesy and harmony are the watchwords Villa Florentine uses to describe itself.
And you will not be disappointed. There is definitely a courteousness and a charming delicacy in the way you are welcomed to this peaceful hotel. You will enjoy the tranquillity and serenity of the surrounding countryside and you will discover a new harmony within yourself if you spend any time at all in the Villa Florentine’s spa and wellness centre.
Which brings you to history. Villa Florentine has had a series of incarnations since the original maison was built in the 16th century, but it has always stood at the heart of fascinating Lyon. Step outside the Villa and the mediaeval architecture and gothic monuments, the beautiful river, the quaint shops and markets, the superb restaurants and sight seeing opportunities of this historic masterpiece are yours.

From the first conversation to the final day of our trip, Catherine and the team were helpful, efficient and easy to reach. Their recommendations not only improved our original plans but also made the whole holiday more cost-effective. Even when we needed assistance while away, their response was immediate. We wouldn’t hesitate to travel with them again.
The service we received from The Ultimate Travel Company was second to none. Tania took the time to understand exactly what we wanted and helped us explore every option clearly and thoroughly. Her first-hand knowledge of Kenya and safaris made a real difference – she explained everything brilliantly. The thoughtful extras, like the travel wallet and documents, were such a lovely touch – especially for someone who loves to travel well-organised! Thank you so much. We’ll definitely be back for future adventures.
Planning my first solo trip felt like a big step, but The Ultimate Travel Company made it easy from the outset. I reached out over a year in advance, and Rob Kent quickly put together a thoughtful itinerary based on exactly what I was looking for, securing great flights and always being available to talk things through. Everything ran smoothly and I felt looked after every step of the way. The accommodation in Japan, Fiji and Tahiti was excellent and the experiences unforgettable.
