Nestled on the hills overlooking Florence and surrounded by 12 acres of lush park, the fabulous Hotel Il Salviatino, housed in a 15th century hand restored villa, boasts incomparable vistas of Florence city and the surrounding rolling landscape. Originally built in the 15th century as a modest farmhouse, Il Salviatino was refurbished by some of Florence’s elite families over the years. Honoring its history and integrity, a recent renovation revealed extraordinary frescoes, a sarcophagus dating back to the Roman times and an intricate network of old pathways buried throughout the estate’s grounds, all of which have been meticulously preserved. Il Salviatino combines its magical setting with bespoke service and unique, personal touches to offer guests an exclusive gateway. The 45 individually decorated rooms and suites, some of which with sweeping views of the iconic Duomo and the romantic Italian Gardens, enjoy handmade Tuscan linens, original artworks, the most luxurious amenities and state-of-the-art facilities. Dining at Il Salviatino is a delicious journey to the roots of Tuscan gastronomy. La Cucina del Salviatino Restaurant, focuses on a combination of classic Tuscan cuisine and authentic, locally grown ingredients with inventive twists on traditional cooking methods. Guests can dine anywhere on the property at any time.

The heated swimming pool, open from April to October, invites guests to sunbathe and relax amidst stunning greenery while the hotel Spa, located in the greenest corner of the villa’s private park, offers a wide menu of aroma therapeutic relaxation and anti-aging treatments.
