Il Salviatino Firenze

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.

Excellent service and beautiful hotel.

The staff were incredibly helpful warm and friendly. They accommodated our every conceivable need. They really went out of their way, they actually remembered our individual orders at breakfast each day and generally were so pleasant and kind. The grounds were gorgeous! Flowers everywhere surrounded by green rolling hills. The bartender at the pool was so fun and gracious. The pool was divine! The spa was lovely and restful with a delicious hot spa in which to relax.

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.

A divine blessing! Staying at Il Salviatino was like staying with lovely friends: carefully blended intimate, warm hospitality combined with personal space for stillness and tranquility. We will never forget enjoying breakfasts, drinks and dinner on the Il Salviatino terrace, with its breathtaking views of Florence. Florence is amazingly beautiful, with masterpieces in galleries and museums, jaw-dropping architecture and heavenly gardens. Sitting on the Il Salviatino terrace, it’s very easy to see all that glory captured in one scene. To add to this magic, there were extensive gardens and the other-worldly spa to transport us to an even higher place. A divine blessing. Thank you so very much.

The area is teeming with vitality, surrounded by lush trees and a thriving ecosystem.

The wait for our food took longer than I expected.
