Hotel information
Combining the best of both worlds, this palatial former 15th-century villa is surrounded by an idyllic 12-acre park - with superb views thanks to its hillside location - yet it also benefits from being just ten minutes from the spectacular Tuscan city of Florence and all it has to offer.
There are many ways that guests can enjoy this boutique hotel’s, gardens which have been restored to their original form with hundreds of protected trees, intricate networks of ancient pathways, centuries-old mosaics and elegant glasshouses. Individually decorated and spread amongst the main villa and garden, the elegant rooms and suites blend local artisanship and modern technologies, authentic Tuscan linens, handmade artwork and the finest leather furniture.
Get a real taste for Italian fine dining at Giacomo al Salviatino, where Tuscan classics are served up with spectacular views of the Florence Dome, and tour the organic orchard and vegetable garden to see the produce which influences the delicious seasonal menus.
Extra indulgent experiences are the speciality of the concierge, who will happily book personal painting and drawing lessons with some of the area’s most talented tutors or exploring the Tuscan Hills in an Italian supercar for example. Following a busy day spent wandering the streets of Florence with your camera in hand, there’s no better way to relax than with an Il Salviatino spa signature treatment, such as ‘Tuscany Pleasure’...bliss!
