Christmas Holidays at Four Seasons Hotel Firenze

Festively-lit streets, Florence’s designer boutiques showcasing special collections and the exhibition and cultural calendar bursting with not-to-bemissed events: spending Christmas holidays in Florence is a truly unique experience and Four Seasons Hotel Firenze, strategically located in the heart of the city, is the ideal accommodation to take in the magic atmosphere. Guests will be offered the chance to pamper body and soul with culinary delights, share moments of leisure with friends and family with a cup of tea, and indulge in the pleasure of one of the many treatments on the Spa menu. Here is a guide to the special Christmas events by Four Seasons:

Taste reigns supreme: creations by Michelin-starred Chef Vito Mollica come in a variety of sophisticated dishes. Whether it’s Christmas Eve dinner, Christmas Day lunch or New Year’s Eve dinner, guests will be won over by the Chef’s exquisite gourmet pairings, such as fondue raviolini with truffle sauce; black-olive crusted sea bass with dry fava bean cream; and Chianti wine and shallot-glazed veal cheek with potato stracciatella. The Christmas Eve dinner and Christmas Day lunch menu include tortellini in Chianina beef-stock, vegetable and fresh herb confetti; basil-crusted sea bass filet with cherry tomatoes and Taggiasca olives; and small roast Zavoli turkey with chestnut and foie gras cream. The Christmas holiday menus alternate between traditional and creative. Domenico Di Clemente’s desserts will certainly have a special place on each guest's menu; his sweet creations are pleasing to both the sight and palate and his homemade panettone comes in a lovely gift box.

New Year’s Eve will be celebrated with a Bollywood Party with an Indian-style atmosphere and cocktails for an unforgettable night. Christmas Tea Time is a lovely break with the Pastry Chef’s macaroons and tea provided by Florentine tearoom La Via del Tè. At the Atrium Lounge, from December 15, 2014 to January 6, 2015, guests will be able to enjoy a special aperitivo in two different versions: oysters and Champagne, or caviar and vodka.

This year’s Christmastime program includes, once again, top-quality delivery service with Vito Mollica’s Take Away Menus, dishes specially made to be comfortably enjoyed at home on Christmas Eve, Christmas Day or New Year’s Eve. The Christmas holiday brunches (on January 1 and 4, 2015) are still a feast for the palate, but based on a lighter and more traditional menu.

And last but not least, the Hotel’s Spa offers treatments catered to each individual’s needs.

Thanks to the Hotel's Gift Vouchers, whatever guests treat themselves to can make a deluxe gift for their loved ones: a brunch, a romantic dinner in an intimate setting, a Spa treatment to be enjoyed with children (the special Full Time Mom package) or a gym subscription, including one personal trainer lesson, the use of steam showers and heated pool with whirlpool.
