Four Seasons Hotel Firenze, Florence
More photosExpert reviews
“The Four Seasons in Florence feels more like a sprawling Tuscan country estate than a hotel in the heart of a bustling metropolis.For starters, it’s built within Giardino della Gherardesca — Florence’s largest private garden, spanning 11 acres.”
“You’d never guess that the unassuming walls of Four Seasons Hotel Firenze, which lies just outside of Florence’s 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.”
“Florence’s most lavish hotel is housed in a magnificent Renaissance palazzo and set in 11 acres of mature gardens. Well-removed from the tourist hordes, it offers superb resort facilities and the sort of polished service you would expect from the Four Seasons brand.”

One of the most impressive hotels we've ever been to.
Expensive for sure but it deserves every penny. Nothing is expensive when you get a memorable stay.

Great stay but expected much more from customer service.
Property was beautiful. Room was lovely with a spacious balcony.
Considering it was Four Seasons I thought the staff didn’t go out of their way to accommodate you. I would prefer Dorchester to Four seasons service any day!

The most beautiful FS in Europe. Wonderful park, nice bar, amazing palazzo. I really liked the location: yes, you need to walk 10 minutes to Duomo, but you are away from the tourist hordes , you can just relax and take a break from the buzz
nothing at all

Perfect stay in a perfect hotel.
Staff were exceptional. They made our anniversary celebrations so memorable and special. They couldn’t do enough.
Nothing. Only wished the pool was open, but it was being renovated.

Great love Florence and service at the hotel was amazing
The location does require a 20 min walk to the centre, when the pool and outdoor facilities are open, as it would offset the distance, however, with the outdoor facilities closed, if known, I would have chosen to stay closer to the centre.
The breakfast was great but we only took one day as we walked to meet friends on the other days. The choice on offer was good and the service was excellent.
The closed outdoor facilities made the location choice wrong for us.
The garden were beautiful and if the other facilities were opened that would have been perfect but without it made us feel that we didn't have location and pool!!

Exceptional stay worth the price
Possibly one of the best four seasons in the world. Truly unique villa from Medici era with its own massive garden.
The staff and rooms were exceptional, lounge bar is beautiful and we loved the spa

Portrait Firenze Hotel, Florence
New York Times + 2 more“Michele Bönan, a Florentine architect, used midcentury furnishings and original photographs from the Ferragamo archives to create gorgeous 1950s-era interiors.
