Renaissance Splendour: Explore Four Seasons Hotel Firenze in the Heart of Tuscany

Firenze, Italy
In the artistic and historic city of Florence, the Four Seasons Hotel Firenze invites guests into a realm of refinement where every stay feels like an immersion in Italian elegance. Housed in a 15th-century palace (the Palazzo della Gherardesca) and a 16th-century villa, the hotel is framed by lush gardens and historic architecture, yet delivers all the comforts of a top-tier contemporary luxury hotel. 

Location & Setting

Located just about a 10-15 minute walk from Florence’s central landmarks — the Duomo, the Uffizi and Ponte Vecchio — the property offers both city access and peaceful seclusion.  The estate spans several hectares of private garden — a rare luxury in a city centre — where guests can stroll among old trees, fountains and a tranquil outdoor pool area. 

Accommodation & Design

With around 115-116 rooms and suites (spread across the historical Palazzo and Villa) each unique in design, the hotel stands out for its artistic and architectural heritage. 
Rooms often feature decorative details such as frescoes, carved ceilings or painted motifs, combined with modern comforts like marble bathrooms and premium amenities. 

Dining & Exceptional Experiences

Dining at the Four Seasons Firenze includes the Michelin-starred restaurant Il Palagio, set within the palace or garden environs, offering elevated Tuscan cuisine.  The hotel also curates immersive experiences: private garden dinners, massages in historic surroundings, and bespoke Florence excursions. 

Why Stay Here
