Palazzo Portinari Salviati

Stunning all round. The food at the restaurant in the lobby is incredible, through a bit slow to arrive. The rooms are impeccable and smell like a little piece of heaven. Decor is stunning. The pool and spa, though small are stunning and super relaxing. And the staff above and beyond! Literally some of the nicest, kindest people that I've ever been taken care of. Wonderful experience! Oh, and you have the best shops and some of the best sights of Florence right on your doorstep.

We stayed at Palazzo Portinari Salviati from July 18–19 in rooms 101 and 102 for a quick visit to Florence, and it exceeded all expectations. From the moment we arrived, the atmosphere was stunning,the hotel is beautifully designed, with an elegant scent and a calming, luxurious ambience. The staff were exceptional,truly the best hospitality we’ve experienced. They were attentive, welcoming, and offered great recommendations around the city. The rooms were spotless, beautifully furnished, and every detail was thoughtfully considered. Despite our early checkout, everything went smoothly, thanks especially to Alessandro, who was incredibly kind and helpful right up until we left. Highly recommended, and I’ll definitely be returning on my next visit to Florence.

My recent stay at Palazzo Portinari Salviati was nothing short of exceptional. Nestled in the heart of Florence, this gem of a hotel combines elegance with a warm, inviting atmosphere. From the moment I arrived, I was greeted with a level of service that exceeded all expectations. The staff were not only professional but genuinely friendly, always ready to assist with a smile. Whether it was recommending local dining options or providing tailored tips for exploring the city, their attentiveness made my experience even more enjoyable. The room itself was a tranquil oasis, impeccably clean and tastefully decorated with a blend of modern comfort and classic Florentine charm. The attention to detail was evident, from the fresh linens to the pristine rooms. Additionally, the hotel's location is ideal, allowing easy access to Florence's most iconic landmarks. In summary, Palazzo Portinari Salviati is a perfect blend of comfort, cleanliness, and outstanding service. I wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone looking for a memorable stay in Florence.

Our stay at Palazzo Portinari Salviati in Florence was truly special. The hotel is tucked away in a quiet side street that opens directly onto Piazza della Repubblica – right in the heart of the city. All the major sights are within walking distance, yet once inside, the atmosphere is calm and relaxed.||From the moment we arrived, the warmth and professionalism of the staff stood out. Thanks to the boutique size of the property, we always felt personally looked after. Service was attentive and friendly without ever being intrusive.||The palazzo itself is stunning and has been beautifully restored. Everywhere you look there are frescoes, marble, and fine materials that create a unique historic atmosphere, while still offering all modern comforts. The hotel’s motto, “Your Place in History,” really feels fitting – it does give the impression of stepping into another era.||We stayed in a Frescoed Junior Suite, which exceeded our expectations. The suite was spacious, the bathroom particularly large and elegant, and the ceiling fresco made the whole room feel extraordinary. The only minor downside was that we could sometimes hear music from the lower floors in the evening. With earplugs, though, it was not an issue for a restful night.||Housekeeping and turndown service were flawless and kept the suite immaculate. Breakfast, whether in Il Salotto or served in-room, was always a highlight. The Eggs Benedict and pancakes in particular were excellent and made every morning feel special.||The spa is compact but very well designed, which actually gives it an intimate atmosphere. The spa attendant was exceptionally friendly and welcoming. Before using the facilities, we were asked to fill out a short form for insurance reasons, which was simple and quick. Being able to reserve the spa for private use was a real treat and made the experience even more enjoyable.||Dinner at the gourmet restaurant was another highlight. We chose the seven-course “Grand Tour di Mare” menu, which was beautifully balanced and perfectly portioned. The room itself is very generous in size with a high ceiling, which makes it feel grand, though it also means the noise level is somewhat higher than in a small, quiet fine-dining restaurant. The overall atmosphere, however, remained festive and memorable. Celebrating my birthday there was made even more special by the thoughtful touches: a cake during dinner and another one waiting in our suite afterwards. The second cake might have been even more appreciated earlier in the day, but it was nevertheless a very kind gesture.||All in all, Palazzo Portinari Salviati ranks among the finest hotels we have stayed at in recent years. It combines history, elegance, and modern luxury in a way that is truly rare. We left with the strong wish to return and would wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone visiting Florence.

We had our anniversary dinner at their restaurant and even though we were not guests the staff were phenomenal! They arranged flowers for the table and brought us a special dessert wishing us a happy anniversary. The meal was fantastic and the whole experience was truest special. Highly recommend.

While planning our three night stay in Florence, I came upon this gem. The former palace has been lovingly restored to grandeur with all the modern conveniences along side respect for its history. The location is fabulous! Our room, The Iconic Suite, was unbelievable! I kept the curtains open at night so when I woke I could gaze at the beautifully painted ceiling and the stained glass windows. Our bed, pillows and linens are some of the best I’ve ever experienced. The staff was always kind, professional and very helpful. The included breakfast had many offerings for every palate. I truly felt like a princess in her palace. I would have no problem recommending Palazzo Portinari Salviati to anyone. I hope I am lucky enough to return!| Bravo!!

The Palazzo is beautiful and the suites in the first floor amazing! Magical-luxury and historical. The staff so attentive and kind, they made our wedding anniversary stay feel much more special! We will definitely stay here when we are back in Florence.

We had the most amazing stay! This boutique hotel is in the best location in Florence and in walkability of everything. The rooms are beautiful and the breakfast was amazing. The free use of the spa was the cherry on top, as well as our dinner at the Alto restaurant in the hotel. I can't recommend this hotel enough.

Everything about this amazing hotel is far and above 5 stars. Every employee was very amenable and they were so accommodating. The lobby is beautiful, museum quality with beautiful furniture and art throughout. The rooms are stunning. The food was excellent and the spa was also a 5 star experience. We received amazing massages, the facilities were so pristine and clean. They have an ozone therapy pool, a sauna and steam bath- we booked a full day and massage on our last full day in Italy and the staff at the spa made it an unforgettable experience. Grazie a tutto lo staff di Palazzo Portinari Salviati e a tutto lo staff della spa...
