Restored 15th-century villa with Tuscan dining, spa, pool, views
"Il Salviatino is the expression of the creative spirit of the eclectic Alessandra Rovati Vitali, who bought this 15th-century villa on the slopes of Fiesole, Italy, and transformed it into a workshop for her vision of beauty, elegance, style, and hospitality. Every corner of this aristocratic country residence is unique, filled with fine fabrics, artwork, and design pieces selected with a hostess’s touch. Meals are served with views of Brunelleschi’s dome, framed by the Italian garden and the 30 acres of private parkland. Six suites are nestled in former greenhouses: With retro portraits, bohemian sofas, and powder-pink terra-cotta floors, they bask in the natural light that animates every surface. The marble and wooden spa is bookable for two. Small but complete, it’s a haven of peace. Though located in Florence, Il Salviatino feels worlds away. From $814. —Sara Magro" - CNT Editors

"When I want the feel of a historic villa, I choose Il Salviatino Firenze for its villa setting and historic character." - Nicole Kliest
"An opulent villa set amid flowering gardens and woodland on the Fiesole hills that feels like a private estate. The 39 whimsical, spacious rooms pair antiques with custom artisan pieces, and plants are abundant throughout the property; rambling garden-level rooms include converted greenhouse spaces alongside a compact but well-designed spa and a pool bordered by Fiesole’s woods. A celebrated Milanese restaurant operates on-site with tables in a former library and outdoor seating among the flowers, serving seafood-leaning meals rooted in Tuscan traditions and an indulgent Sunday brunch." - Laura Rysman
"Set on a hillside in Fiesole, Il Salviatino places you quite literally above it all. It’s a lofty perch in the metaphorical sense as well — a 15th-century villa that’s now one of Tuscany’s finest small luxury hotels." - Mark Fedeli
