Fabulous Firenze

To truly savour a vacation in Tuscany, stay at the magnificent Il Salviatino, a magnificent 15th century villa in the hills of Fiesole, overlooking Florence and the patchwork green of Tuscany. The villa is a former palace, lovingly restored, and with wonderful views over the Tuscan city and Fiesole. The 45 rooms and suites boast high ceilings, large marble fireplaces and ancient mosaics, as well as handmade Tuscan linens, rain showers you can sit in and all the mod cons. The villa suites also have private conservatories and sunken baths. When you are not exploring the delights of Florence, take a cooking class, book a treatment at the spa, stroll through the spectacular gardens or read a book in the original library. For dinner, savour Italian dishes prepared by the chef by the pool, in the garden or in La Terrazza restaurant. Il Salviatino is a member of Preferred Hotels. salviatino.com; preferredhotels.com
