Il Salviatino Firenze

Phenomenal service, stunning interiors and grounds and easy access to the city. Our family of 5 wanted a retreat and special end to our time in Italy and this gorgeous historic hotel hit the mark! Only thing we were disappointed by was that the pool does not open til May 1.

We visited the Salviatino for an aperitivo, after some friends that previously stayed there this summer, suggested us the location. Since the moment of the booking Paul was super nice and as soon as we stepped in the hotel, we have been warmly welcomed Paul and Riccardo provided us with an amazing service and experience, food and drinks were amazing. We have been given a tour of the hotel followed by the explanation of the whole structure history. We will definitely come back and we strongly suggest this as the perfect place to stay in Florence or to go for a brunch on Sunday. The view it’s gorgeous, the quality of the food too and the people that work there are amazing. I have travelled a lot for work and I never had a positive and warm experience like this one. Thank you so much again to Paul and Riccardo.

One of the main highlights of our honeymoon, and by far the most beautiful hotel we've ever stayed at. The villa is stunning, beautifully decorated, as are the rooms. The views of the city and the gardens are some of the best we've seen. The staff was outstanding, food was excellent, our room with a view of the Duomo was beautiful, and the spa and massages were top notch. We can't wait to get back.

Beautiful grounds, friendly and extremely accommodating staff. Large rooms with AC. Shuttle is provided every hour, all day that takes you to the Florence center and back. Pool area is beautiful, has 3 different pool areas with a bar that serves drinks and lunch. The grounds are gorgeous, can’t say that enough. The staff greeted us when we arrived to the hotel, and made us feel like royalty for the entire time we spent there. The hotel is also away from the hustle and bustle of Florence.

We held our small wedding, and stayed at Il Salviatino for 3 nights, along with friends, and it was the absolute highlight of our trip in Italy. Our room at this hotel will count as easily one of the nicest rooms I have ever stayed in. The hotel interior, and grounds are impeccable, and the view brought tears to my eyes when we stepped out onto the terrace. It is a short walk into Florence, but being in the hills overlooking Florence provided the most beautiful view you could imagine, and a quiet and calm, difficult to find in a busy city in the summer season. We had exceptional service from Paul, the Concierge, and Luigi, the Food and Beverage manager. Paul went above and beyond helping support in the planning of our wedding, and during our time there. Luigi also went above and beyond making us and our guests feel right at home, particularly in the Lobby bar. The breakfast is exceptional, and the food from the restaurant is so delicious. If you can, you must stay here.

Il Salviatino is a stunning hotel, located in a wonderful building just below Fiesole, with incredible views over Florence. It was lovely to return here after the noise and heat if the city. The decor of the hotel is beautiful - everything looks and smells incredible. Our room was large, and on request we were given a room with a bath - many just have showers. The breakfast was the best we have had in Italy - a great selection of sweet, savoury and freshly cooked eggs. The one area that let the hotel down was the pool, which looked tired. Slightly tatty, with a plastic liner and mismatched faded umbrellas. The pool bar was also underwhelming, with shabby furnishings and disappointing (though expensive) food. We still enjoyed our time by the pool, but this area definitely needs an upgrade to bring it up to the level of the rest of the hotel.
