Il Salviatino reveals new €3m Aquae Vitali Spa

The historic 15th-century Florentine residence, Il Salviatino, has revealed its intimate new spa space.

The 300sqm Aquae Vitali Spa is set within 12 hectares of lush Italian gardens and was designed by owner and creative director, Alessandra Rovati Vitali.

Offering a holistic approach to wellbeing, Aquae Vitali is spread over two levels and housed within the estate’s original greenhouse.

There are two double treatment rooms and one futon room for mat treatments. Treatment beds are supplied by MG LegnoArredo Italy.

The spa menu includes seasonal rituals, rejuvenating therapies and advanced skincare treatments from Augustinus Bader as well as Santa Maria Novella.

“At Il Salviatino, we’ve created a space that offers an authentic Tuscan experience, where guests can reconnect with nature,” said Alessandra Rovati Vitali. “From our seasonal spa treatments to our mindful yoga experiences, our team is dedicated to ensuring guests find their own piece of serenity.”

Spa facilities at Aquae Vitali

Aquae Vitali embraces a holistic philosophy through spa rituals, movement and mindful nourishment.

Spa facilities include a Vichy shower, infrared sauna, hammam, Mediterranean steam room and traditional sauna.

There is also a heated hydromassage pool, a Watsu bench pool, an ice bath, emotional showers and a relaxation area.

Relaxation beds are supplied by MG LegnoArredo Italy and Arti Futon, towels and spa linens are from Rivolta Carmignani and uniforms are by Balneo SPA. Spa software is by Protel.

The estate also has three cascading infinity pools for unwinding in harmony with nature.

Nutritional wellness

Beyond the spa, Il Salviatino’s holistic wellness philosophy extends to guided yoga and personal training sessions.

The hotel’s commitment to wellbeing is also reflected in its culinary philosophy. At Giacomo al Salviatino, guests can enjoy authentic Italian cuisine crafted with ingredients sourced from the estate’s organic gardens.

The Aquae Vitali spa sanctuary is inspired by the rituals of Roman bathhouses. The detoxification circuit is designed to guide guests through a series of carefully curated ancient wellness practices that stimulate the senses and promote inner balance.

Holistic therapies on offer include intuitive crystal therapy, which uses guests’ astrological birth chart as guidance for personalised selection of crystals, and restorative sound healing journeys using crystal bowls and gongs.

The ancient cacao ceremony ritual has been reimagined by the spa to help guests connect with the spirit of ceremonial-grade cacao through breath, intention and mindful sipping.
