Minutes from Michelangelo?s David, Four Seasons creates a private residential enclave ? where a frescoed, Medici-era palazzo and restored convent, both infused with the spirit of contemporary Italy, are set in the hush of a centuries-old walled garden.

Wonders of the Uffizi and Duomo are a stroll away. Tuscan hill towns beckon. ??Four Seasons Hotel Firenze offers sun-filled guest rooms and suites ? no two alike ? located in both the Palazzo della Gherardesca and the Conventino. Reflecting their rich architectural history, many suites feature original frescoes, friezes and hand-painted sculptured reliefs ? blending Renaissance artistry with high-tech comfort. ??Picturesque views encompass the neighbouring streets, the surrounding palazzos and gardens, and the Hotel?s own central Giardino della Gherardesca. Commissioned in 1490, the Four Seasons Hotel Firenze is a 15-minute stroll from the Duomo. Set in four hectares of bosky gardens with fountains, follies, little classical temples, a large outdoor swimming pool and a first-rate, headily scented spa, it is an extraordinary hotel.
