Villa Maïa

Modern hotel , smiling and competent staff, indoor swimming pool, it is worth 2 stars, but no more as the so called "Lyon's view" rooms and suites located on the 2nd floor (3rd floor for Americans) have in fact a view on the very high trees or the garage's roof in front of the hotel. Besides, the balcony is oddly half closed instead of offering a full view on the city. So if you want a real amazing view on Lyon, prefer the Villa Florentine. It is a little old fashioned, but has a stunning panorama.

Just spent 5 glorious days at the Villa Maïa in Lyon, and we could not have had a better time! The property is beautiful- situated on a hill overlooking the city with sweeping panoramic views of the Rhône and Old Lyon. What makes this hotel truly exceptional is not just the gorgeous architecture, modern furnishings, or superb spa and pool facilities… it is the staff! A big shout out to Raphael- who we interacted with a breakfast and throughout the hotel. Raphael is awesome!! We looked forward to seeing him everyday, he was great to talk to, super helpful, and just a lovely person. It is very evident that Raphael loves and takes pride in his work and is fantastic at what he does. Also would like to shout out Tatiana, Jorge, Leo, Charles, and Anais. It was so nice to see their smiling faces every day and they all ensured that we had a flawless stay. Thank you Villa Maïa, can’t wait to come back! (Just a technical note- because the hotel is situated on a hill, it can be a little difficult to access. If you want a little exercise, it is a 15-20 minute walk up and down. Can be a bit arduous but doable, and very necessary after enjoying some of the delicious Lyonnais cuisine for dinner. But for those less able, there is a funicular that goes back and forth up the hill for €3 and drops you off 3 minutes from the hotel. And taxis and Ubers are aplenty!)

What a beautiful private place in Lyon. The team was professional friendly and genuinely dedicated to ensuring an enjoyable stay. Couldn't say enough good things about this place. The Spa and Pool Area is beautiful and very clean. Room was quiet with wonderful balconies with view of the city. We will definitely be back

Villa Maia exceeded expectations! The accommodations were excellent, conveniently located in a quiet location with helpful and attentive staff; beautiful, well-maintained grounds; and impressive views. They are also to be commended for their sustainability.

The service level was top notch. The front desk was welcoming, the concierge,Jillian was very helpful and the bartenders Clement & Lionel were great. The Spa team & pool, jacuzzi, sauna & steam room were all wonderful. The walk down to Old town was easy and the tram back-up made it even better! Walkable to Roman theatres and the Basilica . Our room was clean & spacious and we loved sitting on the terrace overlooking the garden sipping a glass of wine. The view from the bar Terrance was awesome …..overall a great hotel….highly recommend..
