Luxurious 15th-century palazzo with private gardens in the center of Florence
An elopement at the Four Seasons Florence offers a private garden estate experience in the heart of Florence.
As a historic hotel with one of the city’s largest private gardens, it provides a rare sense of quiet and grandeur.
Planning here means working within the hotel’s established structure, including specific time slots and vetted suppliers, to ensure privacy and a seamless event.
Our package is designed to manage these logistics. We secure the best private spaces and timings for your ceremony and portraits, handle the required coordination with the hotel’s event team, and ensure your elopement feels intimate despite the scale of the property.
