Character and identity
A 15th-century villa on the slope where Florence meets Fiesole, Il Salviatino sits in twelve acres of wooded park, ten minutes from the Duomo but a world away from its crowds. The 41 rooms inhabit a Renaissance house reworked by designer Alessandra Rovati Vitali into something closer to an eclectic country residence: trompe l'oeil, library nooks, wicker, velvet, books, and pieces salvaged from the Ritz Paris auction. The kitchen is run by Milan's Giacomo, with comfort-driven Italian cooking served anywhere you like. The new Aquae Vitali Spa occupies a former greenhouse. Service is butlerly but uncuffed.
Who's it for
Best for:
Couples and design-literate travellers who want Florence at arm's length, with a permaculture garden, a Pistoletto land-art installation, and a one-treatment-room spa reserved privately. Ideal for repeat visitors to the city who have done the centro storico and now want quiet, greenery, and a villa with genuine creative personality behind the decor.
Should look elsewhere:
Families wanting structured kids' programming (there is no kids club, and babysitters need advance booking), mobility-limited guests (a 16th-century building means steps almost everywhere), and anyone who wants to walk out the door into Florentine street life. The setting is residential hillside, not city centre.
Bottom line
What you are paying for is the villa itself: a genuinely personal, art-filled house in twelve acres of park, ten minutes from the Duomo but blissfully outside its churn. Book a greenhouse suite for the powder-pink terrazzo and orangery, or the two-floor Ojetti Penthouse for the Brunelleschi view. Best from late spring through early autumn, when the garden and poolside dining come fully into play.
