Perfect Florence Location, steps from the Duomo

Alessandro has thought of everything to make your stay in Florence comfortable. The apartment is beautiful with high end touches and is a wonderful place to return after a long day of exploring Florence. Easy walk to the Ufizzi, Ponte Vechio, and train station for day trips. We stayed for a week and enjoyed breakfast/coffee every morning before heading out. We reviewed our day on the outside patio area. I would love to return for a longer stay… still so much left to see and experience!

Amazing stay!

Alessandro was an incredible host. He met us with the key and gave us so many amazing recommendations around Florence since it was our first time visiting. The apartment was clean, in an incredible location (Cathedral literally outside the door), and just all around a cozy, cute place. I highly highly recommend this place for your trip. We hope to be back in the future!

Very nice apartment!

We stayed for a week mid April 2023 and we loved it. We were just yards from the Duomo, the biggest tourist spot in Florence yet the apartment was quiet. We enjoyed the outdoor terrace and the apartment had everything we needed. We recommend this to anyone visiting Florence!

Incredible stay in Florence!

I can’t imagine a more perfect apartment in both amenities and location in Florence. Alessandro was super nice, helpful as we accidentally arrived early. This apartment is located within that shadows of the Duomo and is close to so many wonderful restaurants, attractions, shops & more. Just loved everything about our stay…and hope to return in the future.

The host was amazing to us after a terrible travel day, picked us up at the airport. It was after midnight and he even found a place open so I could buy a bottle of wine, above and beyond and so appreciated. The apartment is comfortable and perfect, best location in Florence

Well-appointed place steps from Duomo

This apartment had everything we needed for a 12-night stay. The bathroom had great lighting and good storage. The closet in the bedroom is large and amazing. The terrace provided a nice place to relax and enjoy a glass of wine. The location is stellar and the elevator is great for mobility-challenged people. On top of it all, Alessandro was a great host! Wonderful place.

Fantastic location and host

This apartment couldn't have been in a better location. You could walk to everything in the old town of Florence. Alessandro was very helpful and was able to accommodate us arriving a little earlier than normal check-in time. He helped us get a very early morning taxi since I was having difficulties getting my phone to work. This had plenty of room for the two of us. We had a great time and would rent this property again.

There is only one Florence, and it was ours for several days. We have visited Florence many times during our life time and it has been always lovely. Every time we loved Florence more, and this time was different because this magnificent property was at our disposition. Thank you for everything.

Quiet, roomy, comfortable

This apartment is roomy and very well appointed. My wife and I were so comfortable here. Another advantage is that it is quiet, which was a welcome change from the large crowds in Florence at Spring Break time. Alessandro is a terrific host. He stayed in touch with us and offered his advice and help in any way we might have needed.

This was the perfect place for our four day adventure in Firenze! Alessandro was a great host and the communication was good from the beginning. He met us upon arrival and showed us how to work everything and also gave us detailed information for getting around Firenze. The apartment was very clean and furnished with all the amenities. The shower had good pressure and the bed was very comfortable after a long day of sightseeing. And, despite the apartment being a few steps from the busy Duomo, it was extremely quiet. The apartment is very close and within walking distance to popular attractions. My husband and I highly recommend this place for your time in Firenze. Thank you Alessandro for sharing your beautiful traditional florentine style apartment with us!

Deserves more than a rating of 5!

Alessandro was a perfect host! Upon greeting, he explained everything about the apartment and took the time to provide us with locations for attractions, restaurants, grocery stores, etc. We walked to all of the sites on our itinerary; Duomo (steps away), Arno, Accademia - the list goes on! The apartment was well furnished and decorated. When we return to Florence, we will definitely stay at La Terrazza al Duomo.

Beautiful apartment, excellent location

We stayed for 3 nights in this beautiful apartment. It is very clean and cozy, with antique furniture and a perfect little terrace. There is everything you need in the kitchen, also extra linen, blankets, and towels, cleaning supplies, etc. We were met by Alessandro's friend Emiliano who gave us recommendations on sightseeing and restaurants. We were leaving very early in the morning and when Emiliano came to pick up the keys he even brought us fresh pastries for breakfast! Thank you, Emiliano and Alessandro!!

Florence Accommodations at Their Best

Alessandro, was a superb host. He spent an amazing amount of time with us going over everything and giving us some awesome tips on places to visit. The apartment was exactly as shown in the pictures and it was an absolute pleasure staying near the Duomo and allowed us to be close to everything. Alessandro was very prompt and helpful with answering any questions and helped us obtain a taxi to take us to a meeting point for our guided tour. I can't think of one bad thing to say about his place, you'll have everything you need and I HIGHLY recommend booking this place. If we ever visit Florence again, we will definitely stay here. Thank you Alessandro, you are an awesome host.
