The actual structure is a must see a historical building dating back to the 1200's. The products are also excellent although there are many other historical pharmacies around Florence that are not as famous and where staff are more friendly. The staff at Pharmacy of Santa Maria Novella are very rude. More

You are hit with delightful smells as you walk through the door to the Pharmacy, just around the corner from the Piazza Santa Maria Novella. The interiors are spectacular and their products, while a bit pricey, are famed around the world for their quality and natural ingredients. I go at least one a year just to take in the beautiful...

This is the 400th anniversary of the founding of the pharmacy and perfumery. The scents are incredible and fairly reasonable on price. Their restoring the building and entry, so some construction. Doesn't take away from the friendliness of the staff and great selections. More

You are transported to another world although it was a bit crowded when we visited so felt like hard work seeing everything while at Flor Firenze it... More

If you can, it's well worth the trip to see this place while you are in Florence. It's an incredibly beautiful building with a lot of history. The products that they make are sell are some of the most beautifully packaged I have ever seen. They have a library which is just so gorgeous. Whilst we were there, they had... More

This was indeed amazing. The ceilings, paintings, glassworks, all are so beautiful and intricate. The selection of lotions, oils, salts, and herbs is extensive and steeped in history. Very relaxing just to walk through and look at the counters.... More
