This space was perfect for our family of 5. It is so close to everything and yes, you really can see the Duomo from the window! It is clean and peaceful . The only noise is from the streets. It’s not very loud because it’s on the 5th floor. We enjoyed the sounds of the shop keepers, the people conversing and the beautiful church bells. Alessio also left us an itinerary for our first day which was especially thoughtful and appreciated. Go to Florence and stay at Alessio’s!
