Il Salviatino
Florence, Italy
Perched in the hills above Florence, Il Salviatino is a place where centuries of history meet the effortless beauty of modern Italian living. Once a 15th-century Florentine villa and a gathering place for artists, intellectuals and visionaries, the estate has been thoughtfully brought back to life under the personal vision of Alessandra Rovati Vitali. Original frescoes, historic architectural details and centuries-old craftsmanship now sit alongside bespoke furnishings, contemporary art and eclectic design, giving the villa a character that feels collected rather than created. Surrounded by private parkland and Italian gardens, with Florence and its iconic Duomo unfolding in the distance, Il Salviatino feels wonderfully removed from the city below – yet deeply connected to its art, culture and unmistakable sense of beauty.
Each of the 39 individually designed rooms and suites has its own distinctive character, combining king-sized beds dressed in fine Italian linens with elegant bathrooms, thoughtful details and beautiful views over the gardens, the Tuscan hills or Florence itself. Beyond the rooms, days unfold at an unhurried pace: linger over breakfast, spend sun-filled hours beside the cascading infinity pool, retreat to Aquae Vitali Spa in the villa’s original greenhouse or wander through gardens scented with flowers and Mediterranean greenery. At Da Giacomo al Salviatino, Italian culinary tradition takes centre stage, while a sunset aperitivo at Rosa Bar invite you to simply sit back and watch the light change over Florence. More than a hotel, Il Salviatino captures something deeply personal about Tuscany, bringing together beautiful surroundings, meaningful moments and the luxury of having time to truly enjoy them.
Location
Set in the hills of Fiesole, Il Salviatino offers a peaceful retreat with Florence’s cultural treasures just moments away. Spend the day discovering Renaissance masterpieces, historic palazzi and iconic landmarks such as the Duomo, Uffizi Gallery and Ponte Vecchio, before leaving the rhythm of the city behind. The location is equally perfect for exploring the Tuscan countryside. Winding roads lead through vineyards and olive groves to traditional wineries, the historic town of Fiesole and the picturesque villages of Chianti, inviting you to experience the region at a slower pace. Here, the art and culture of Florence blend effortlessly with the landscapes, flavours and timeless charm of Tuscany. Florence Airport (Amerigo Vespucci) is approximately 20 minutes away by car.
