Fodor's Expert Review Il Salviatino
Via del Salviatino 21, Florence, Tuscany, 50100, Italy Fodor's Choice
The dramatic approach (via a curving private drive lined with cypresses) to this Renaissance villa sets the tone: it's all uphill from there, with remarkable high-ceilinged rooms and elegant furnishings. Many have views of the Italianate garden directly below and Florence farther yon. The sweeping main staircase is lit with candles at night to dramatic effect. La Cucina, the restaurant, serves Tuscan food with clever, creative twists. A shuttle bus to Florence runs regularly from the property.
