A couples' itinerary to live in perfect Four Seasons style.

Florence, the romantic city par excellence, is the place for an inspiring itinerary for two departing from the Florentine gem of Four Seasons Hotel Firenze. Couples looking to escape everyday life for a short break can trust the Hotel team and its San Valentino offer to celebrate February 14th in Italian style.

The lovers’ journey begins at this charming urban resort in the historic centre of Florence, birthplace of the Renaissance, and will take lovebirds to discover the most magical spots in the city. A warm welcome upon arrival is just the beginning before discovering the Giardino della Gherardesca, a spectacular green garden and centrepiece of the Hotel.

Guests have the chance to experience the luxurious Spa at Four Seasons, the ideal retreat for a couple’s massage in one of the elegant treatment rooms. Surrounded by the beautiful park, the Spa offers a variety of treatments drawing inspiration from Tuscan flavours and scents by Officina Profumo-Farmaceutica di Santa Maria Novella – one of oldest herbal pharmacies in the world.

Feeling relaxed and rejuvenated, the couple's journey of indulgence continues with a romantic stroll along the streets of Florence, the setting for one of the most famous love stories in history, the one between Dante and Beatrice. There are large squares and narrow passageways waiting to be discovered as well the famous Ponte Vecchio and the hidden views along the Arno river - a unique place to enjoy a breathtaking sunset over the bridge.

Back to the Hotel, at Il Palagio, the restaurant overlooking the Hotel's private garden, guests can enjoy a dedicated menu created by the Michelin-starred Chef Vito Mollica and his culinary team. The four course dinner starts with oysters and hot peppers; followed by sea bass carpaccio with citrus, burrata cheese and mullet bottarga; black truffle risotto with pecorino cheese; crispy duck breast and leg confit in orange sauce; and finally Madagascar chocolate with mango coulis prepared by Pastry Chef Domenico Di Clemente as a sweet conclusion.

As a final touch of romance, the Hotel's concierge team suggests ending the Valentine’s celebration on the large terrace of Piazzale Michelangelo, the most inspiring location in Florence, to appreciate the magnificent night view over the entire city.
