"Il Salviatino is the expression of the creative spirit of the eclectic Alessandra Rovati Vitali, who bought this 15th-century villa on the slopes of Fiesole, Italy, and transformed it into a workshop for her vision of beauty, elegance, style, and hospitality. Every corner of this aristocratic country residence is unique, filled with fine fabrics, artwork, and design pieces selected with a hostess’s touch. Meals are served with views of Brunelleschi’s dome, framed by the Italian garden and the 30 acres of private parkland. Six suites are nestled in former greenhouses: With retro portraits, bohemian sofas, and powder-pink terra-cotta floors, they bask in the natural light that animates every surface. The marble and wooden spa is bookable for two. Small but complete, it’s a haven of peace. Though located in Florence, Il Salviatino feels worlds away. From $814. —Sara Magro" - CNT Editors
