White Iris Beauty Spa

In the heart of the Hotel Continental, we have our first spa in Florence: the White Iris Beauty Spa. An atmosphere of enveloping beauty that pays homage to the simple elegance of the Florentine style and to the warm tones of the typically Tuscan stone. This Spa offers a wide range of exclusive treatments and massages designed by Comfort zone, suitable both for guests who like to take long moments of relaxation and to the customers with little time available. The symbol of this spa in Florence is a delicate white iris: a discreet invitation to take care of yourself and your well-being.

Comfort zone, the Skin Care division of the Davines group, was founded in Parma in 1996. Characterized by the passion for beauty and science, by the desire to offer a healthy and sustainable lifestyle, it offers a new concept of holistic vision that comes from the constant contribution of an international team of experts in medical and humanistic disciplines. The wide range of products and treatments, rich in natural active ingredients and high-tech molecules at the forefront for the prevention and treatment of the main skin imperfections, is combined with massages and exclusive rituals that regenerate body and mind, offering a unique and enveloping multisensory experience, which every guest can experience in the intimate and sophisticated spaces of White Iris Beauty SPA.

Ville sull’Arno

The fourth spa in Florence that we here recommend is the Spa of the romantic Florentine hotel Ville sull’Arno. Here too we are just a few steps from the center, in a truly unique venue. Original details, precious materials and hand-made decorations by Florentine artisans are just some of the elements that distinguish this wonderful spa.

Among the treatments offered we have the calidarium, the emotional shower, the chromotherapy, the Terracqua cabin and the Raxul cabin. The latter is an entirely dedicated space with a bath of warmth, a steam bath like in ancient Rome, before moving on to the reaction of the cold water of Fauno and then to the relaxation phase, cradled by Flora. It lasts 30 minutes and it alternates jets of steam and pauses, accompanied by variations of lights in chromotherapy. During the cycle it is recommended to cool off with water until the end with a jet of water directly over the seat. The offer of this exclusive Spa in Florence continues with a whirlpool bath, candlelit relaxation and an ice waterfall. To top it all off there are also personalized massages, wellness treatments designed specifically for each client, precious beauty products and body care.

Palazzo Castri 1874

The last suggestion for a spa in Florence with an exclusive taste is the wellness center of Palazzo Castri. It’s an intimate and cozy place, with 153 square meters of wellness, a pearl of uniqueness in the center of Florence, where you can enjoy relaxation, silence and being transported in a privileged path of total regeneration of mind and body. The Spa is open every day and, to ensure a high level of comfort, access to the service is by appointment, with different schedules dedicated to families with children.

It’s worth taking a little time to fully enjoy all the benefits of the wellness programs, to let yourself be intoxicated by the warm balsamic vapors of the Finnish sauna and Turkish bath, to refresh your body with the ice of the waterfall before plunging into the large hydromassage pool with invigorating jets of water. Between sessions you need a relaxing break in the relaxation area, where you can sip on tea from La Via del Tè – Florence. To prolong the feeling of well-being after the Spa path, you must allow yourself to be tempted by the face, body and massage treatments. The products used come from the high-end beauty care line Maria Galland. Remove stress and rediscover one’s intimacy: this is what Palazzo Castri 1874 wants to do. And for those who like to relax with healthy physical activity, there is a dedicated fitness room, equipped with cutting edge Technogym equipment.

So, we gave you the ideas. Now what are you waiting for to book your day in Spa in Florence?
