Florence, Italy
Renaissance palace retreat in Florence with Italy’s largest private garden, Michelin‑star dining and an elegant spa sanctuary
Our review
The Four Seasons offers the best of both worlds – convenience to central Florence yet it is set in beautiful grounds. The flat, eleven-acre garden make it ideal for children, who are well served here.
The hotel is in a quiet and peaceful spot and would appeal to someone who wants to do some sightseeing but enjoys a bit of relaxation too; someone who wants to spend quite a bit of time using the facilities the hotel offers, whether it is relaxing with a book outside or taking tea in one of the attractive restaurants. The spa is most appealing and a variety of treatments are on offer.
Last words: This hotel would appeal to people who appreciate luxury hotels and want to spend some time in them. It is also good for children.
