The Four Seasons Hotel Firenze is located on the edge of Florence’s historic center and occupies two protected Renaissance palaces, the 15th-century Palazzo della Gherardesca and the Conventino, a 16th-century Palazzo, which was once a convent. Between them lies Florence’s largest private garden – the 11-acre Giardino della Gherardesca. The palace’s ornately painted and crafted interiors offer guests the unique opportunity to view 15th – 19th century artwork in their original context. Frescoes, bas-reliefs, stuccoes and silk wallpapers have been carefully restored to reveal vivid detail dating back over five centuries.

Four Seasons Firenze features 116 sun-filled guest rooms and suites – no two are alike. Reflecting their rich architectural history, many suites feature original frescoes, friezes and hand-painted sculptured reliefs, blending Renaissance artistry with high-tech comfort. Designed to feel welcoming and comfortably residential, the accommodations are bright and airy, warmed by a mélange of warm Tuscan yellows and greens. Picturesque views encompass the neighboring streets, the surrounding palazzos and gardens, and the hotel’s own central Giardino della Gherardesca.
