This place was as advertised. Perfect location and best view of the city. Conveniently located and the host could not have been more accommodating. He even carried our luggage upstairs for us. This was no easy task as we were "newbies" and yes we overpacked. The view from the terrace is worth it alone.

About the host

Hosted by Emanuele

Host profile image

Hi, I’m Emanuele — born and raised right here in Florence.
This is my city, my home, and I love sharing it with people who come to discover it.

When you arrive, I’ll meet you in person for check-in.
I’ll give you the keys, a map, and most importantly… the best tips for living Florence like someone who knows it well — where to eat real Florentine food, where locals buy fresh groceries, where to drink a good glass of wine, grab a gelato, or find places tourists usually miss.

I’m not alone in this — with me there is Cristina, my right-hand person.
She’s Florentine and knows the city inside out.
You can write to us anytime with questions about the apartment or the city — before, during and after your stay. We’re here, we answer fast, and we actually enjoy helping.

We both love traveling and meeting new people — that’s why hosting is something that feels natural to us. We really enjoy getting to know our guests, hearing their stories, and helping them get the most out of Florence.

We hope you’ll feel at home here — not just visiting, but living the city for a little while.
And hopefully, we’ll meet you soon in Florence.

Why they chose this property

Why did you choose this neighborhood? – Friendly & Local Version

Because here you don’t just sleep in Florence — you live it.

Sant’Ambrogio is one of the most genuine and vibrant neighborhoods in the entire city.
People know each other by name, the market opens early with fresh fruit, pasta, cheese and bread still warm, bars fill with locals having their first espresso of the day… and from here you can walk everywhere. No buses, no rush — just Florence under your feet.

And then there’s the reason behind the name of the apartment:

BELVEDERE .

The terrace opens right toward Brunelleschi’s Dome — one of the most iconic symbols of Florence. You wake up, step outside, and the Duomo is there, in front of you. For breakfast, at sunset, at night under the lights… it’s magic every time.

This home was completely refurbished, warm, bright, and ready to welcome travelers who want something real — not just a place to drop luggage, but a place to feel the city.

If you want Florence not just on your itinerary, but in your daily life —
this is where you want to stay.

What makes this property unique

What makes this place unique is simple:
you don’t just stay in Florence — you live it.

From your private terrace you wake up every day with a full, open view of the Duomo and Giotto’s Bell Tower — no rooftops blocking, no partial angle. It’s the kind of view most people only see on postcards, and here you get it to yourself, with morning coffee or a glass of wine at sunset.

You’re also in Sant’Ambrogio, one of Florence’s last truly local neighborhoods — fresh market, artisan shops, real food, and Michelin-recommended restaurants like La Giostra, Cibrèo and L’Ortone just a short walk away. No tourist bubble. No fake Florence. Just life, as it happens.

Add to that a historic home with original coffered ceilings, quiet, bright, and restored with care. A place with history, atmosphere, and warmth — not a generic rental.

Guests choose this property because they want something unforgettable:
a real Florentine life, with the Duomo right in front of them.
