Tripplo’s hotel summary
Tripplo’s analysis · Updated 20 October 2026 · How we review hotels
Il Salviatino Firenze is a choice for those seeking elevated hillside views from an estate. This restored Renaissance villa features a heated outdoor pool in terraced gardens and complimentary parking in a secure estate. A key consideration is that the location requires a drive to the city centre, and the historic layout presents accessibility challenges.
Guests score it 9.5 out of 10 — the average across the 15 hotels we list in Florence is 9.4.
- The hotel's hillside position in Fiesole offers clear views of the Duomo and historic center. Guests can admire the Florentine skyline away from the crowded city streets.
- Surrounded by manicured Tuscan lawns, the multi-tiered outdoor pool offers a quiet space to swim. Attentive poolside service enhances the relaxed, estate-like atmosphere.
- Situated in the hills of Fiesole, the hotel is a 15-minute drive from Florence's main sights. A complimentary shuttle is provided, though off-schedule travel requires taxi coordination.
- The historic nature of the 15th-century villa means some areas have split levels and steps. Guests with limited mobility should request accessible rooms near the main elevator pathways.
