Although it is just a 20-minute walk from the Duomo di Firenze and Uffizi Galleries, the property, which is housed in a Renaissance-era Palazzo set on eleven acres of gardens overlooking the Giardino Della Gherardesca, feels like a sanctuary in the heart of Tuscany’s most famous city. The hotel’s opulent spa, housed in modern, low-slung building on the property, stocks products from the Officina Profumo Farmaceutica di Santa Maria Novella, oldest pharmacy in Florence, and many of the treatments in its ten luxurious spa rooms come complete with a tasting of fine Chianti.
