About
Duomo View
Duomo View is a small bed & breakfast set in the historic heart of Florence, on Piazza San Giovanni. Its position puts the cathedral's facade literally outside the door, and several rooms look straight onto it. The property is smoke-free throughout and offers free Wi-Fi in public areas.
The B&B keeps things simple: a lift, luggage storage, and express check-in make it practical for sightseeing trips. Breakfast is served to your room, with guests frequently praising the fresh croissants. A handful of rooms share bathrooms, reflecting the 3-star price point.

In brief
What works, what to weigh
+
Strengths
4 reasons to book- Unbeatable location on Piazza San Giovanni — The B&B sits right on Florence's cathedral square, putting you steps from the Duomo and the historic center.
- Direct views of the cathedral — Many rooms face the Duomo, and guests consistently mention the view from the window as a highlight.
- Breakfast served to your room — In-room breakfast is a signature feature, with fresh croissants and a good selection of pastries and yogurt.
- Staff praised for helpfulness — Guests highlight the kind and responsive service, from the host to the whole team.
–
Worth weighing
4 to weigh- Some rooms have shared bathrooms — The Standard Double and several other rooms use external or shared bathrooms, which may not suit everyone.
- Low comfort rating — Guest comfort scored 6.0 out of 10, the lowest category, suggesting beds or quietness may not be top-tier.
- Limited on-site facilities — There is no restaurant, gym, or spa — just breakfast and room service. Facilities are basic for a 3-star B&B.
- Value for money rated below average — The Value score of 7.7 lags the overall rating, so some guests find the price a little high for the room size and shared bathrooms.
