Villa Maïa
Fourvière, France
Above the old town, Villa Maïa gives you space to retreat after a day on Lyon’s cobbled streets. Jacques Grange’s interiors use restrained colours and carefully made furniture, while Louis Benech’s gardens bring greenery to the hilltop setting. The columned indoor pool recalls the area’s Roman past. Choose between garden and city views when booking; the outlook varies by room. The nearby Roman theatres make an easy first outing.
