In the heart of Florence, nestled within the sprawling Giardino della Gherardesca, stands the Four Seasons Hotel Firenze, a jewel of Florentine elegance. The hotel unites the grandeur of two Renaissance palazzi, the 15th-century Palazzo della Gherardesca and the Palazzo del Nero , with contemporary luxury. With 115 exquisitely appointed rooms and suites, an 8,500-square-meter garden, a spa, and a pool landscape, the property is an oasis of tranquility just steps from the city's cultural highlights.
Bagno Al Fresco: Dolce Vita by the Pool
Between June and late September 2025, the pool area transforms into a temporary beach club experience: Bagno Al Fresco. Inspired by classic Italian lidos, the area radiates in elegant red-and-white stripes. Cocktails, leisurely hours in the water, and the art of doing nothing, dolce far niente , in the heart of the Tuscan capital. The offering is available for a limited time and can only be booked during the summer months.
Dining Under the Open Sky: Trattoria Al Fresco
Located directly by the pool, Trattoria Al Fresco serves authentic Tuscan cuisine, perfect for a light lunch or an elegant dinner. In the evenings, the acclaimed Pizzeria Lo Spela from the Chianti region rounds out the menu with creative, gourmet-level pizza creations.
Grilled specialties from the Josper Grill, including meat, fish, and vegetables, are accompanied by regional wines and creative cocktails. A culinary summer experience full of flavor and atmosphere.
Relaxation & Spa
The in-house spa offers a wide range of restorative treatments, complemented by regular aquafitness sessions in the pool area, ideal for an invigorating start to the day. A particular favorite: the JetPeel Facial, a modern, non-invasive treatment for deep hydration and a fresh complexion.
Sapore di Mare: Culinary Summer Evenings
With the Sapore di Mare event series, the Four Seasons invites guests on select evenings to a celebration of the Italian Riviera. DJ sets featuring music from the 1960s through the 1980s create a nostalgic atmosphere. At Restaurant Onde, elegant coastal cuisine is served, complemented by classic vermouth cocktails from the Bar Berni.
A feast for all the senses, in the historic heart of Florence.
