A visionary retreat for those who travel with intention, set within 5 hectares of enchanted nature
Where craftsmanship meets sweeping views, Il Salviatino Firenze
offers a refined Tuscan escape. Perched on a hillside above
Florence, this 15th-century villa - originally built atop
ancient Roman ruins - was once home to a noble Florentine
family. Today, its storied past blends seamlessly with
contemporary elegance to welcome guests into a world of timeless
charm. Set within 12 acres of private parkland and lush organic
gardens, every suite and room has its own distinct character,
with restored frescoes, period artwork, and handcrafted
furnishings.
Mornings might begin with a dip in the
heated two-level outdoor pool or a peaceful moment on the
flower-filled terrace. For deeper renewal, the hotel’s La Spa Il
Salviatino offers immersive treatments designed to awaken all
the senses. At La Terrazza, the hotel’s signature restaurant,
seasonal Tuscan dishes are served with simplicity and soul.
The
estate invites quiet exploration, but the nearby town of Fiesole
- with its Roman heritage - is also within easy reach. For a
deeper dive into the Renaissance, the hotel provides a
complimentary shuttle to the heart of Florence in just 15
minutes. Discover the artisan workshops, glide under Ponte
Vecchio, or wander through the Medici Chapels to see tombs
shaped by Michelangelo himself. As dusk settles over the hills,
return to Il Salviatino and relax in the wood-paneled library, a
vintage novel in hand and a glass of Tuscan red nearby.
