You may have only thought it could happen in the movies, but staying in a majestic room at an amazing villa in the Tuscan countryside can come true. Il Salviatino is a boutique hotel in Fiesole, just two miles away from downtown Florence. With unparalleled amenities, an attention to detail, and sweeping views of both the surrounding valley and the Renaissance City below, this property seems out of a dream.
The hand-restored 15th Century villa is situated in Fiesole, halfway up the hill from Florence the main city up above. All of the rooms are elegantly appointed, with original details such as oversized fireplaces, luxurious marble, and rustic wood beams in the ceilings. And each accommodation is completely unique in both design and character. Also at the hotel, enjoy outstanding seasonal cuisine created with ingredients grown right on the property. When you need to relax, grab a seat at the pool for a swim and for breathtaking views of the surrounding hills, or head to the spa for a massage using exclusive perfumes from the local Dr. Vranjes house.

Location
This is not actually a boutique hotel in Florence—it is just outside of the city walls in the nearby town of Fiesole. Within 15 minutes, you will be able to reach all of the city’s top attractions, but being positioned on a hillside means you’ll get to take in the Tuscan capital from a different angle. Bask in the sunshine, admire the private gardens around you, and enjoy what it really means to have a Tuscan holiday.
