With custom-made furnishings, plush amenities and views of a flower-filled courtyard, the Tuscan countryside or the city of Florence, every room at this historic hotel — a former monastery — is memorable. But for sheer honeymoon romance, nothing beats the Michelangelo Suite. Stretching the entire front of the original building, this one-bedroom suite was once the monastery’s library, then later, Emperor Napoleon Bonaparte’s Florentine headquarters. Today, a canopied king-sized bed faces an oversized stone fireplace. Artworks and original design elements adorn the spaces and the windows look out over Florence, the Arno Valley and the Chianti Hills. There’s also a cozy separate sitting area, and a marble bathroom with oversized tub (room rates start at about $585 a night and include breakfast; belmond.com).
