A timeless luxury hotel steeped in rich history and old-world charm, nestled in the heart of Florence
You’d never guess that the unassuming walls of Four Seasons
Hotel Firenze, which lies in Florence’s historic city center,
hide a sumptuous Renaissance-era palace. But upon entering
hotel, you’ll find a big hint, an enclosed loggia circled with a
frieze that dates back to after 1473. Sit on one of the plush
sofas to admire the 12 bas-relief sections depicting
mythological stories with a statue towering in the middle of the
light-filled space.
The artistic touches aren’t
limited to the palatial loggia - the entire hotel is like a
museum with restored frescoes, bas-reliefs, stuccoes and silk
wallpaper at every turn.
One of the city’s largest
private gardens also is nestled within the heart of the
property. Walk the paths to see the lush lawns framed by yew,
thuja and Mandarin orange trees as well as wildflowers. You’ll
also discover the 91-foot-long pool, fountains, an Ionic temple,
a pavilion and a collection of art that frequently changes.

"Fantastic. Historic property with a wonderful private garden and all the amenities, high-quality service, and little touches that you'd expect. Any minor imperfections were noted and corrected immediately. The location is very good with a 10-20 minute walk to the main tourist attractions. Grazie mille!"
"Four season Florence always wonderful. The atmosphere is magical. The service is truly excellent and characterized by the spontaneous kindness of all the staff. High quality food. Excellent breakfast. Excellent cleaning. Beautiful, comfortable rooms. It's always fantastic to come back to Four Season Florence every now and then."
"If you’re planning a trip to Florence, this is the place to stay. The Four Seasons Hotel is truly a gem, combining luxury and impeccable service. The hotel itself is beautiful - the gardens, the architecture, and the opulent interiors. The location is also a bit tucked away, which is a bonus to escape from the tourist area."
"Still dreaming about this place. A historic beauty with the most peaceful private garden and all the little luxuries that make a stay feel special. We were there for just two days but managed to squeeze in a private dinner in the Medici chapel (pure magic) and even shot our wedding photos there. We’ll definitely be back."
"Simply the best. No comparison. The hospitality is unmatched. The location is fantastic, and the rooms, gardens, facilities (gym & spa) are just incomparable! Bravo!"
