It's the views that make the Villa Florentine so exceptional. What was a former convent is now a luxurious boutique hotel, nestled in the centre of Vieux Lyon. Nothing beats a morning swim in the rooftop pool before dining in the exceptional Michelin star restaurant. 

Situated on the top of a hill, this basilica not only boasts terrific views of the city, it is also an outstanding byzantine masterpiece designed by architects Pierre Bossan and Sainte-Marie Perrin. 

Breakfast, lunch, dinner: coffee, wine, and small plates. Grive is a bistro come deli where you can nibble on delicious sharing dishes and sip on their exceptional, though concise natural wine list. What is more, you can also pop by the grocery store to pick up your favourite bottle to-go.
