On the hills overlooking Florence, in the charming village of Fiesole, the boutique hotel Il Salviatino blends grand Tuscan character with attentive service in a beautifully restored 15th-century villa. Ideal for a romantic escape, wedding proposal, honeymoon or an impressive business retreat, the property showcases historic architecture and luxurious modern comforts.
The spa is located a short walk from the villa and specializes in distinctive treatments that use custom fragrances from Florence’s perfume house Dr. Vranjes. Signature experiences include the 180-minute Tuscany Pleasure: a comprehensive facial and body ritual featuring a wine gel body scrub, an organic facial peel with wine must gel (must contains freshly pressed fruit with juice, skins and seeds), and a deeply relaxing full-body and facial massage.
Guest rooms and suites at Il Salviatino honor the villa’s past while offering contemporary amenities. Many accommodations retain exposed stonework and antique features, complemented by handmade Tuscan linens, sit-down rain showers, Nespresso machines, flat-screen televisions and complimentary Wi‑Fi. The result is an elegant, comfortable setting that merges historic charm with modern convenience.
The hotel also offers curated themed itineraries. For driving enthusiasts, Italy Full Throttle delivers a Gran Turismo-style experience that includes a self-drive Ferrari tour between Florence and Verona, with a stop at the Ferrari museum in Maranello. The scenic route follows the Futa and Raticosa mountain passes, famous stretches used in the Mille Miglia rally that appeal to drivers seeking exhilarating roads and exceptional scenery.
For guests focused on rest and renewal, the Relax and Enjoy Florence package centers on wellness: two nights in a double-deluxe room (with a complimentary upgrade when available), à la carte breakfast, one complimentary three-course dinner at La Cucina Restaurant (beverages excluded), 24-hour Ambassador service, and spa treatments—one two-hour session per person on arrival day and a one-hour session per person on the second day. This package is designed to combine the villa’s tranquil setting with tailored spa therapies for a restorative short break.
Il Salviatino’s combination of historic surroundings, refined accommodations and thoughtful wellness offerings makes it a distinguished choice for travelers seeking a memorable stay near Florence. The villa’s location in Fiesole provides peaceful panoramic views while remaining close to the city’s cultural attractions, allowing guests to enjoy both relaxation and easy access to Florence’s art and history.
