Four Seasons Hotel Firenze


In the hush of a centuries-old walled private garden, the largest in Florence, Four Seasons offers a Tuscan residence, just minutes away from Michelangelo's David. Feel the magic of a frescoed Medici-era palazzo and a restored convent infused with the spirit of contemporary Italy.

Four Seasons Hotel Firenze has 117 sun-filled guest rooms and suites, with no two alike. Reflecting the architectural beauty of their celebrated past, they blend Renaissance artistry with high-tech comfort. Overlooking the inner courtyard, lovely garden vistas and neighbouring streets, rooms are located in either the Conventino, a former convent from the 17th century, or the Palazzo Della Gherardesca, a 15th-century palazzo (palace).

Dining
Il Palagio

Located on the ground floor of the Palazzo Della Gherardesca, Il Palagio features vaulted ceilings, elegant décor and lovely views of the inner gardens. Large French doors open to a terrace that offers al fresco dining during clement weather. A seasonal menu features regional cuisine prepared with a contemporary twist, accompanied by exceptional Italian wines. Seats 60 indoors, 40 outdoors.
Specialties

A wide variety of à la carte items is offered at breakfast – a large selection of freshly baked pastries, croissants and breads, fresh fruits and juices, healthy choices, egg specialties, cheeses, smoked fish and cold meats. For lunch and dinner, authentic Italian cuisine is thoughtfully prepared featuring local flavours. Executive Chef Vito Mollica and his team also prepare multi-course tasting menus with wine and food pairings.

Envision an enchanted occasion inspired by Renaissance history – with dazzling artwork at every turn. Celebrate within an exquisite former church, in a frescoed, gilt-edged ballroom or outdoors beneath towering trees in a centuries-old private park, the largest in Florence.
