I have American standards for spa service, which I have come to learn that in Italy my standard is reserved for 5 star (like Four Seasons, which is incredible). Unfortunately I have yet to be impressed with any Spa in Florence that boasts to have high quality, other than Four Seasons.

In 12 years of living in Florence, I am happy I took the opportunity to go. The spa is quaint, cozy and wonderfully designed, and the staff is warm and professional. Not to mention, excellent at what they do.
