Map & location
Florence City, Florence, Italy
Eden Rock Resort is tucked into the serene hills just outside Florence, giving you the best of both worlds: postcard views and breathing space, with the city’s masterpieces a short ride away. Wake to birdsong and terracotta rooftops in the distance, then hop on the local bus (stop approx. 50m from the hotel) for a day among Brunelleschi domes, cobbled lanes and world-famous galleries.
Florence itself is compact and walkable once you’re in the centre, so it’s easy to link days of art and architecture with slow evenings back at the resort, perhaps with a glass of Chianti on the terrace as the city lights begin to glow below.

Facilities
Pool & outdoors
There’s no beach here – this is all about hillside calm and city views.
• Outdoor swimming pool: A smart, stone-edged pool set among greenery, perfect for a cooling dip after sightseeing.
• Whirlpool section: Built into the main pool, providing a gentle hydro-massage and a spot to sit and soak up the Tuscan landscape.
Facilities and opening hours may vary by season and weather conditions.
Spa, sports & wellness
Eden Rock Resort focuses on relaxation rather than a long list of activities, but you can expect:
• Peaceful sun terrace and gardens for reading and unwinding
• Lounge and reception area with concierge-style assistance for restaurant bookings and museum tickets
• On-site or nearby parking (often a big plus this close to Florence)
Many guests use the resort as a refined base to explore: walking and wine trails in the Tuscan countryside, classic sights in Florence, and day-trips to other hill towns and vineyards.
Activities
While Eden Rock Resort is primarily about relaxation, it works brilliantly as a base for experiences in and around Florence:
• City exploration – Duomo, Ponte Vecchio, Uffizi, Boboli Gardens
• Gallery-hopping and museum visits, from Renaissance classics to modern art spaces
• Food and wine experiences – from gelato stops to Tuscan wine tastings and cookery classes (bookable locally)
• Walking and photography in the nearby hills for sunrise or sunset views over the city
Most activities are arranged independently in Florence or via local partners; the team can usually point you in the right direction.
Guest services
Guest-focused services typically include:
• Reception and concierge-style assistance for taxis, restaurant reservations and tickets
• Luggage storage for early arrivals and late departures
• Free Wi‑Fi throughout the property
• Housekeeping service and towel/linen changes
• On-site or nearby parking (often with limited spaces)
Some services and facilities may incur local charges or vary by season; ask at reception on arrival for the most up-to-date details.
Food & drink
Eden Rock Resort keeps things intentionally intimate. Your stay includes a quality continental or buffet-style breakfast to set you up for days in Florence, often featuring freshly baked pastries, local breads, cold cuts, cheeses, fruit and hot options.
A cosy bar/lounge space is the go-to for a pre-dinner aperitivo with Tuscan views – think prosecco, Negroni or a glass of Chianti as the sky softens over the city. For lunch and dinner, most guests head into Florence to sample neighbourhood trattorias, wine bars and gourmet restaurants, making the most of the hotel’s tranquil setting when they return.
