Undoubtedly, to find yourself in a pharmacy like Molteni, right in the centre of Florence next to the Uffizi Gallery, you have to have travelled to the artistic depths of Italy. Not only is it the oldest pharmacy in the City of the Arno, and probably in the whole country, where there´s proof of its existence since the 13th century, but its owners have settled here a place for pilgrimage in which its stripped furniture, crystal lamps and old flasks coexist with the large amount of medicines available in the Western world.
But Molteni pharmacy is much more than a pharmacy, because its staff who speak English, French and Italian, and are at the client´s disposal 24 hours a day, can guide us not only around the medical universe but also on how to take care of our body. Just as you´ve arrived to some of the apartments in Florence that you´ve managed to book, you can go to Molteni, and here you can buy anything from some sachets for the cold up to phytotherapy products as well as international ecological cosmetics. Even so, you cannot miss its typical Florentine products: soaps and fragrances made with artisan scents.
