Accommodation
Offering enchanting views over Florence and its iconic Duomo, this palatial fifteenth century villa nestles within the sloping hillside of picturesque Fiesole. Its aristocratic past is dovetailed with contemporary comfort as elaborate frescos, the finest Italian linens, rich handcrafted leathers and works of art sit alongside the most sophisticated technologies. The restaurant concept “La Cucina del Salviatino” with its authentic Tuscan cuisine comprises a series of taste experiences and guests may choose to dine almost anywhere – La Terrazza, the panoramic terrace, Le Serre, the secluded greenhouse area and La Piscina, sheltered by the poolside. The Spa Il Salviatino provides an array of luxurious pampering treatments; further recreations include cookery classes and wine tastings. Florence can be reached in 15 minutes by complimentary scheduled shuttle.
The Spa Il Salviatino blends the idyllic setting with one of Florence's most exclusive perfume houses - Dr Vranjes. Combining ancestral knowledge and delicate aromas, this is a true essence of Italy.
Italy is a year round destination especially for city breaks, with a largely temperate climate with regional variations. Summers are hot especially from Rome southwards, whilst spring and autumn are mild. Winter in the south is warmer and drier than in the northern and central areas which can be much colder with snow fall in the mountainous regions.
