About Il Salviatino

Il Salviatino is a fifteenth-century villa and five-star boutique hotel on the Fiesole hills above Florence, with a panoramic Terrazza for up to 250 guests, a spa and 45 rooms and suites.

Il Salviatino is a fifteenth-century villa on the Fiesole hills above Florence, now a five-star boutique hotel set in five hectares of private parkland. The Duomo is visible from the terraced gardens, the pool and many of the rooms. The drive from the centre of Florence takes about twenty minutes, and Florence Airport is around twenty-five minutes away.

For a wedding, the Terrazza is the main setting, taking up to 250 guests, with the Italian gardens and cypress-lined paths as further outdoor ceremony spaces. Indoors, the Sala Affresco holds 40 for a ceremony and the Biblioteca and the Veranda each hold 60. Legal civil ceremonies take place at the Fiesole comune. Da Giacomo al Salviatino serves seasonal Italian cooking on a garden terrace over the city, and wedding menus are composed for each couple. The villa can be taken for exclusive use from 70 guests, including all 45 rooms and suites, the gardens, the spa and the restaurant. The Aquae Vitali Spa sits beneath the villa's original vaulted foundations.

Highly Recommend

Beautiful hotel with so much charm and history. Perfectly sitting on a hill of Florence overlooking the city. They offered shuttle service everyday to get you to and from the city. Room decor and style were exceptional. Very clean, staff was great and had everything you needed for your stay. We ate breakfast and dinner there and food was very good.

Stunning retreat close to the city

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.
