This was a pleasant surprise for me while arriving in Florence!! Our driver dropped us off at our…read morehotel and he casually mentioned that this perfume shop was the same one filmed in the movie "Hannibal" . Say less... ...made my way over to the shop and walked around four or five times before approaching the nice ladies behind the fragrance bar. Told her what scents I liked and she picked out three for me. The one I bought she put in my arm and told me to walk around and sniff it for a bit and then come back. I did just that and bought the big bottle. It was worth every euro that I paid for it! Good thing is that they do have an online store and will ship to the US!! I plan to buy another bottle just so I have a back up!

This place has so much history all the ladies were very friendly and helpful…read more Will definitely is a must to see and shop from

Needs 10 stars. Got Iris Sensations package with full body…read morescrub, wrap & massage: 2hrs 15min €350 & worth the whole thing! The scrub was surprisingly relaxing & I was like butter by the wrap. Veronica was extremely professional & has wonderful strong consistent pressure without pain. Spa facilities are wonderful. Dry & wet sauna, changing rooms & showers, lounge with a small reading library of books & magazines. If you're not a hotel guest, you can pay a little extra for use of the swimming pool & gym for the day. You can also walk around the hotel lobby & large gardens. I recommend just spending the day here. Next time I want to try the facial & hair treatments also.

The spa at the Four Seasons recently opened to the public (previously it was only for hotel…read moreguests). Although not cheap, this has got to be the most luxurious spa I have ever been to, and I would definately recommend it for a special occasion, like a wedding or hen party. I did a facial treatment with their exclusive Rephase products and technology and the following week someone told me she could not believe i was in my late 30s, so I like to think that the facial played a role in this sudden youth, or perhaps the lady in question just needed glasses. In any case, the facial was relaxing and I do think my skin looks firmer as a result. The ambience at this 5* hotel is incredibly classy and the service is unbeatable. It is possible to purchase a day's access to the pool so that after the spa you can hang around here and in the verdant gardens, which really is an oasis in the middle of the city.
