Immerse yourself in the beating heart of Florence and be captivated by the wonder of a unique panorama. Our splendid panoramic terrace offers an exclusive experience: sip a coffee at dawn while the city gently awakens, or enjoy an aperitif at sunset with the dome of the Duomo just a few steps from your eyes. With a 360° view of the city's most iconic monuments, this is the perfect place to experience Florence in all its magic, between the sound of the bells and the scent of history that envelops every street. A charming refuge that transforms every moment into an unforgettable memory.
Our Opinion: The Perfect Accommodation for Demanding Travelers who have no problem climbing stairs This home is ideal for couples looking for a romantic stay, for families who want to explore Florence with maximum comfort and for groups of friends who want to experience the city from a privileged perspective. Also perfect for professionals and smart workers looking for a refined and inspiring environment, with large and bright spaces. The strategic position allows you to easily reach museums, restaurants and exclusive boutiques, making this house a perfect starting point to discover the true essence of Florence. Particularly suitable for stays of several days or even several weeks. This accommodation is particularly not recommended for those who have difficulty climbing stairs as it is located on the fourth floor, without a lift, with 77 steps to climb to reach the entrance door and another 20 to reach the terrace.
The very central location of the apartment allows you to visit the entire historic center of Florence very well even on foot. However, public transport services are many and particularly close, allowing you to move around without problems. The nearest bus stop to the house is on via della Colonna about 3 minutes walking distance, and the bus n° is 6, 14 or 23. To receive news and updates on public transport in real time we recommend: - Link to the public transport website in Florence: ataf. net - Link to the Trenitalia railways website: trenitalia. it - Consult the "home instruction book" that you find on the living room table.
The apartment is located halfway between the San Giovanni neighborhood (which houses the Duomo and the Accademia Gallery) and the Santa Croce neighborhood (with the church of the same name) and you couldn't wish to stay more in the historic center than this! Less than a 10-minute walk away are all the most important Renaissance monuments, as well as the Sant'Ambrogio market and the Santa Maria Novella train station. During the Renaissance, this area was the cultural center of Florence, Italy and the world! The area overflows with humanity especially around the stalls that are spread around the Central Market, which is also very populated inside. On the ground floor there is still the ancient market, where you can buy typical Florentine food products (don't forget to taste the lampredotto and finocchiona!), while on the first floor restaurants and street food follow one another in a unique socializing environment where everyone can eat at the same table! The other face of the neighborhood is that of the Medici family who left humanity majestic works such as the Palazzo Medici Riccardi, the family's seat for decades, the Basilica of San Lorenzo and the Medici Chapels, an extraordinary family mausoleum. An obligatory stop on every visit to Florence is the Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore, also known as the Duomo with its wonderful dome by Brunelleschi, adorned by the Baptistery > and from the adjacent Giotto's Bell Tower: many steps are absolutely worth climbing to admire a breathtaking view! But don't forget to visit Piazza Santa Croce and get lost in the streets of the historic center among its ancient shops, its cafes and trattorias offering typical dishes of Tuscan cuisine. Those who choose to live in this area will find a wide range of food shops, pastry shops, bakers and much more.
The apartment is located in the historic center of Florence which is a limited traffic area, ZTL, where special rules apply for accessing or parking. If you wish to use the car to get to the apartment, we advise you to book the nearest garage, in order to obtain a temporary access permit through one or more ZTL doors. You can go directly to the apartment to unload your luggage and then, within 3 hours of your first access to the ZTL, go to the garage, which reports your license plate on the "white list" (at a cost of € 1,00) for regular access without sanctions.

Amazing views, nice rooms, easy check-in! As others have said, it is on a 4th-floor walk-up. But the centrality of the apartment and view makes up for it!

This place is incredible. Excellent location near grocery, food and night life. My kids say it was the best place we stayed at our entire trip. My husband was looking up real estate prices.. The balcony was stunning and house very cute and clean. The stairs are legit and you have like 3 min to get up them before the hall lights shut off- with luggage- this was fun. However, once you are in the place- you are golden.

Thank you so much for this amazing and fun review!
We’re absolutely delighted to hear that you and your family had such a great stay — especially that your kids chose it as their favorite place of the whole trip, that truly means a lot! And we love that your husband was already checking real estate prices
It’s wonderful to know you enjoyed the balcony, the cleanliness, and the overall charm of the apartment, as well as the lively area with everything close by.
And yes… the stairs are definitely part of the experience! A little adventure on the way up, but as you said, once inside, it’s all worth it.
It was a real pleasure hosting you, and we’d love to welcome you back again. For your next stay, if you book directly through the Belcanto Villas website, you’ll find even better rates.

Our favorite part of the stay was coffee on the rooftop, where we felt like we were the only people in Florence. It was so peaceful and have the Duomo in view was breathtaking. Right before bed, we also made our way to the rooftop to enjoy the 360 degree view of the city lit up for the evening. The steps up to the apartment definitely kept our steps tracker going! It was all worth it for the comfort and ease of living! Thank you for everything!

Thank you so much for your beautiful words! We’re thrilled to hear that the rooftop was such a highlight of your stay — there’s truly something magical about having coffee with a view of the Duomo and ending the day with Florence lit up beneath the stars.
Yes, those steps do keep you active, but we’re glad you felt the comfort and ease made it all worthwhile. It was a pleasure hosting you!
We hope to welcome you back very soon!

Magical stay in a wonderful city. The property is huge over multiple levels. The terrace is like a movie set. The view is breathtaking with a great sunset and evening views of the Duomo is next level.
Thanks to Daniele who was so responsive and did everything he could to support our family during our stay. Communication was excellent. Five plus stars.
The location is super quiet.
Finally the stairs are many but once you see that view and apartment you quickly forget them.
Thanks

Yes, the stairs are definitely part of the experience — but we agree: that view makes it all worth it!

Review for stay from 21 June 2025 to 24 June 2025
What a wondeful and central place to stay in Florence. We have throughly enjoyed the breathtaking and relaxing views of the Duomo but also of the Palazzo Vechhio and Florence surroundings. Daniele was a proactive and responsive host. We are a family of 6 and there was ample room for all of us to move around. The kitchen was well equiped and the wifi was connecting perfectly for having kids on Ipads after our long walks! Daniele informed us of some parkings nearby the apartment. However, we opted for a cheaper option outside the city. It was easy to navigate public transport to get to the apartment via bus and a short walk (4minutes).

The view from this apartment was the kind of thing you remember all your life! Furnishings were lovely. The sofa was a great spot for a nap after a busy day in Florence. Walkable to everything that’s a must see. Delicious cafes nearby. Lots of stairs but the owner was up front about that. Communication with host was excellent.

La casa es espectacular. Dos habitaciones muy grandes, otra más modesta, pero todas con baño completo. Zona común amplia y cómoda, al igual que la cocina, totalmente equipada, y con vistas a la cúpula de la catedral. La terraza tiene unas vistas inmejorables de todo Florencia. Desde la casa no se oyen ruidos de coches ni de gente. Super tranquila y silenciosa. El dueño, muy atento, incluso dejó varios paraguas ya que la previsión era de lluvia
