Salvadonica - Borgo del Chianti

The location of Salvadonica is so picturesque! We enjoyed the views, the pool, the restaurant, the wine and olive oil tasting and the cooking class and painting class available. You could walk the vineyards and watch a movie under the stars.| Luckily, these kept us busy for a while. We didn't realize without a car, we could go nowhere! A taxi would have to come from Florence, so the cost would be prohibitive. I wish we had been informed of this, but I take responsibility since I could have done more research. | The rooms were quite adequate and clean, though my room s (#20) bathroom seemed to have a venting problem because the sewer gasses were pretty awful. They had a scented oil in there but that didn't help. I liked the rooms location, so I didn't say anything until check out. They acted surprised which was funny because I've read this in other reviews. I believe only this room was affected.| The staff were efficient, but not overly friendly. The chef who gave us our cooking lesson was lovely, though.| If you stay here, have a car!! If you have a day off rain, you stay in your room and read a book if you don't

I can’t say enough about this property and all it has to offer. A wonderfully peaceful escape in the heart of Tuscany. The views are something dreams are made of. |The cooking class was lots of fun and definitely a highlight of our stay. |The restaurant was simply superb. The food and wine were top notch and the waitstaff were only too eager to make your dining experience something you won’t forget.

After doing a LOT of research for a place to stay in Tuscany during our two-week trip to Italy, I booked Salvadonica and I am SO HAPPY we made that choice. It was the highlight of our trip (which is a high bar!) and exactly what our family was looking for - beautiful grounds, family / kid-friendly while still feeling elevated, comfortable + clean + nice rooms, **amazing** food + wine, and kind, helpful service. I have already told several people in my life they have to come here if they are heading to Tuscany, and I can't wait to return one day. If you are considering Salvadonica just book it and know you are heading somewhere truly special. Heaven on earth! The pool was perfect, the grounds (swings + slide / tennis / walking trails / bocce / outdoor movies / reading nooks etc) were fun to explore, we loved the cooking class and wine / olive oil tasting, and we were happy just being at Salvadonica. We made the trip into Florence one day (super easy!) and explored nearby towns for a few meals, but after the bustle of Rome and before we headed to Venice, we found a paradise in Salvadonica that exceeded any expectations we had. Don't think twice and book!

Incredible views and very convenient location. Simple but cute bedrooms. Feels like a restaurant trying to accommodate an American clientele, so in my opinion not worth having a meal while you are in Tuscany. Will be back, but maybe only for a day, passing by.

Amazing experience! Stunning views, wonderful staff, and great experiences! Only suggestion would be a shuttle to local wineries and into florence as its quite hard to find a taxi! We will absolutely come back!

Incredible experience at Salvadonica... The absolute highlight of our stay was the Tuscan countryside surrounding the hotel, but the hotel is so beautilly designed with every respect for these surroundings. The food is very very high quality and as it has its own vineyards and winery, the drinks are excellent too. Very highly recommend Salvadonica, exceptional experience!

Extremely disappointing stay at Salvadonica. From the very beginning, we felt like we were disturbing the waiters, who were unfriendly and inattentive. The whole stay gave us the impression that guests are not truly valued. To make matters worse, upon checkout I simply asked the manager for information regarding the room billing, and he answered in a very disdainful and disrespectful way. Unacceptable behavior for such an establishment with this price. An experience to avoid.

What a beautiful and intimate Tuscany treat! I’m thrilled that we chose Salvadonica. All the rooms offer a great deal of privacy with outdoor seating areas. We unwound and relaxed daily at the beautiful pool after touring Tuscany and Florence. The pool overlooks the Tuscan vineyards. We were torn as to whether to stay in Tuscany or Florence. Hands down, we made the right choice by staying here!
