Scattered throughout the hotel, the king-size Superior Rooms have views of either the courtyard of the Palazzo or the streets of Borgo Pinti or Gino Cappoponi. As with all of the Four Seasons accommodation, the marble bathrooms have deep tubs to sink into and fluffy robes to laze around in.

These classically furnished rooms are located in the Palazzo della Gherardesca and La Villa, surrounded by palazzos and gardens. The sitting area of the bedroom can accommodate a third bed. All rooms at Four Seasons have complimentary Wi-Fi, flat screen televisions and fully stocked private bar for that well deserved nightcap.

Overlooking the hotel park and residences, the Premier Rooms have a sitting area where you can start your day with a breakfast delivered to your room as you plan your explorations of Florence.

Look out onto the hotel’s manicured and fragrant gardens from these bright and airy rooms. Slightly larger than the Premier Room, the Four Seasons Rooms have a furnished living area.

Offering lovely views of the gardens and neighbouring residences, some of the Four Seasons Junior Suites have balconies. These suites are large enough to sleep three adults. Enjoy the spacious marble bathroom which has a separate rain shower.

Larger than the Junior Suites, the Parlour Suites have an open plan feel to them, with views extending into the courtyard and the park. These suites can be converted into a two-bedroom suite.

Those seeking a separate living room should choose these suites. Choose between being located in the Palazzo della Gherardesca or in La Villa. Guests staying at La Villa have access to a butler service from unpacking your bags on arrival to arranging a private dinner.

There are three Gallery Suites, located in the Palazzo della Gherardesca with views over Giardino del Borgo and Borgo Pinti Street. Each suite has preserved original architectural features such as the panelled ceilings and is uniquely furnished with frescoes adorning the walls. Some of the wallpaper dates back to the 19th century. These suites can be converted to a two- or three-bedroom suite as required.

These spacious suites can accommodate two adults and up to three children in the separate living room, making them ideal for families. They have a more contemporary style than some of the other rooms and suites in the hotel. Located on the third floor of Palazzo della Gherardesca you can enjoy views of the Giardino del Borgo.

Those seeking a real flavour of Florence should choose these suites. Admire the authentic frescoes and panelled ceilings in the bedroom and bathroom. There are three of these suites, all of which are uniquely decorated.

We love these two-storey suites which offer incredible views of the Duomo and the city’s rooftops. Occupying the main floor there is the bedroom, two full marble bathrooms and a lounge. Upstairs there is a cosy second lounge.

Couples love the romance of these Renaissance styled rooms. From your sumptuous bed you can look up to the detail of the frescoed gold ceiling. A solid wood door divides the bedroom from the opulent living area which overlooks the gardens.

Offering complete privacy, the one bedroom Garden Suite is hidden amongst the trees. Once the former greenhouse of La Villa, it is now a charming suite that opens on to the wonderful landscaped gardens and onto a private section of the park. We love the sunken bathtub with its garden views. In the summer months you can even cool off in the private plunge pool.

Located on the third floor of the Palazzo, views from the windows and French doors extend over the park and Borgo Pinti. This one bedroom suite has a separate living room and dining room which can entertain eight guests.
