Il Salviatino - Florence, Italy
About this Chic Retreat
Il Salviatino, a magnificently renovated boutique hotel overlooking Florence, is a truly luxurious haven. While restoring this villa, some spectacular features were unearthed and carefully restored to their former glory, including beautiful frescos and flourishing Italian gardens. With art pieces sourced from around the world by the respected architect, Luciano Colombo, the entire villa has been decorated to perfection and the building is architecturally and historically interesting, dating back to the 15th century and rebuilt and renovated by many aristocratic owners throughout the centuries. This beautiful and elegant villa is perfect for a luxurious retreat.
Accommodation
Each of the 45 rooms & suites of Il Salviatino are individually styled in elegant classical Italian style. Beautiful hand-selected artwork adorn the walls and beds are covered with handmade Tuscan linen. A sophisticated light pallete and the warm wooden floors and fixtures complement the many beautiful paintings. The Ojetti suite has a spacious, airy living room where light pours in from the skylight ceiling and Florence's Duomo can be seen from the rooftop Jacuzzi. The Affresco in the suite of the same name was painstakingly restored to reveal Bruschi's beautiful work once again, and can be viewed from an ancient stone bath. Some suites have mezzanine levels reached by beautiful wooden staircases and the Green House suites have wonderful glass covered porches where guests can relax with view's of Il Salviatino's park. Rooms are also carefully decorated with a choice of views from the Tuscan countryside to the flourishing gardens.
Activities
Il Salviatino's Devarana spa has a range of ancient eastern therapies to choose from. Nestled in the Italian gardens, the spa follows the Thai Devarana concept of the garden situated at heaven's gate. The historic centre of Florence, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is just 10 minutes away and the city - often regarded as the birthplace of the Italian Renaissance - is crammed with spectacular architecture and monuments, including the magnificent Duomo.
Dining
Grappolo's menu is rooted in Tuscan cuisine and has been developed by the renowned chef, Saverio Sbaragli. Meals can be served anywhere in the villa, and there are 2 dining areas. 'La Terrazza' serves classic Tuscan dishes and overlooks the Duomo, and 'Le Serre', set in the quiet greenhouse area, offers a more contemporary take on Tuscan cuisine. There is also a delicious Devarana spa menu with fresh organic treats that include all the ingredients needed for a balanced, nutritious meal, a perfect compliment to a relaxing spa treatment.
