Overlooking the gray stone swimming pool and acres of gardens with magnificent towering trees, the Four Seasons spa is a welcome addition in a city with a distinct dearth of destination retreats. The building is done up with Picasso prints and drawings of the city, and treatment rooms are full of light from vast windows. Treatments utilize potions from Officina Profumo-Farmaceutica di Santa Maria Novella, an apothecary started by Florentine monks in the thirteenth centurythe Iris Florentina is said to have been the favorite scent of Catherine de Medici. Tuscan-style pampering includes a cypress body scrub, a Chianti massage with local wine products, and a pomegranate bath and massage.
