Il Salviatino Firenze

Este lugar parece un paisaje de ensueño. No puedo recomendarlo lo suficiente: es elegante, moderno, clásico y cómodo, todo al mismo tiempo. Reservar ahora.

I'm not sure exactly where to begin this, so I'll start with the top! It's a 15th century Villa that has been incredibly tastefully converted into a hotel and spa with about 45 rooms/suites. They have the full suite of amenities, that any larger and more full size property of this caliber would be expected to have. Edoardo is the relatively new General Manager, and the man is the CONSUMMATE PROFESSIONAL! He has curated a wonderful staff and property, and while sadly I don't remember everyone's name, they are all wonderful and will go out of their way to make you feel at home and like royalty at the same time! The building is almost a time capsule in and of itself! There is a wonderful library next to the bar for relaxing, and all throughout the property are books of various ages from fifty to hundreds of years old and with gloves to be worn by the reader, for the protection of book. Alessio is the bartender for the property and the man KNOWS what he's doing! He has been doing it for 20 years and his proficiency is obvious! When dealing with professional service people I'm a big believer in letting them show you their local traditions or specialties, not unlike a sommelier, and his personal recommendation was delicious! I won't spoil anything, go and visit, and tell him to make you one of his special creations! Demetrio is the restaurant manager, but also helpful with suggestions, like a concierge! We were so hoping to dine in their restaurant for dinner but ended up staying in town all but one of the nights, but I'm sure the food would be fantastic! Florence is know for a particular cut/style of steak "Steak Florentine." American's would know it as a porterhouse cut, and it's generally cooked rare over wood flame and served sliced off the bone! One night we we're wanting a traditional experience of Steak Florentine (one can not subsist on pasta alone!) and Demetrio and Alessio sprang into action, setting us up with a great local recommendation and even calling to make us a reservation and more! I cannot RECOMMEND this hotel enough! The property is magical, the staff feel like old friends you haven't seen in awhile, but you pick up like you never left, and you're just steps away from the majesty that is Florence! Go! Stay! Enjoy!

We were on a 10 day tour of Tuscany and while we were coming back to Florence towards the end of our trip, we wanted our first day to relax after a trans-Atlantic flight. We wanted a hotel that was elegant, embodied the rich history of the city, was close enough to Florence to make us feel like we were there but yet, we didn’t want to be in the hustle and bustle of it all. Lastly, it was warm so we wanted a fabulous pool and great dining options. Set on a hillside, this hotel/ resort hit all the marks and exceeded expectations. It was relaxing for sure and offered decadent rooms with outstanding views of the city below. The pool is amazingly set amongst olive and fruit trees. The service was on point at every level. A wonderful start to our Tuscan getaway.

Fantastic stay at this tucked away Tuscan villa in the quiet hills of Florence. The place itself is very calm & peaceful, slightly outside the busy streets of the main town itself. There is a shuttle bus running throughout most of the day, every hour from the hotel to the town centre and back again, which saves €25 roughly each way. We found all of the staff to be very attentive & helpful, rooms were regularly cleaned and of very good quality. Our breakfast was included and was always delightful, especially with the views down onto Florence itself. We also had lunch & dinner in the restaurant, which was lovely, albeit slightly more expensive than external restaurants we found, but in all honesty that's to be expected given the quality of the surroundings! The pool area is lovely, you can easily spend a day or two of your trip here, a short walk down, although transport via a golf cart can be provided upon request, along with towels. Spa area is also included and very relaxing. Overall, we really enjoyed our stay here & would highly recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a relaxing break in Florence.

Il Salviatino is entirely straight out of a movie. Just the ride up through the rolling hills appears through the trees a stunning villa that looks like a dream. Each and every room you walk in is romantically detailed, including beautiful fresh flowers and candles lit every evening. Making it feel idillic, escaping away to an old movie film. Walking or dining out on the terrace to see the breathtaking views of Florence. Making you want to soak up every moment. Not only are the views amazing, but every single staff member was above and beyond at their job with just absolute lovely smiles and greetings, making my whole experience that much more memorable. Especially Gridius, manager of the food and beverage. He always made sure everything was running properly and exceeding expectations of service. Couldn’t ask for a more magical stay while being in Florence. One visit won’t be enough, because you will gravitate back again and again. As I’m planning my next trip..

Incredible, we can not wait to go back. It's one of the most beautiful, peaceful hotel properties we have ever stayed in. Breakfast, sunset, dinner all on their stunning terrace. We can't recommend this place enough.

Think White Lotus meets Nine Perfect Strangers! Nestled in the hills above Florence this 16th century Italian mansion has a magical mysterious charm. Every room and area is an architectural designer delight providing a procession of luxurious spaces each with their own unique qualities inviting you to pause, linger and enjoy. They all culminate on the terrace with outstanding views of Florence, the star performer. The room was elegant and the bathroom beautifully clad in marble. We received a gourmet welcome treat which previewed the restaurant’s high standard. Also, we utilised the pool which was refreshing and in excellent condition and the massage was possibly the best ever experienced! The only drawback I hesitate to add is that our wish for the AC to be cooler but we are Australian and prefer it that way. Il Saviatino is an oasis of calm & serenity amid the Florentine tourist hustle and bustle. It is truly a sensory experience; with flowers, art work, gourmet treats, the warm sun and nature. Romantic, indulgent and luxurious is descriptive of the hotel. The staff are professional and discreet yet friendly and warm with further enquiry. We very much enjoyed our stay at this fairytale Italian Villa.
