Close to Duomo, very nicely decorated, excellent breakfast, friendly staff. Only thing that we didn’t love was the air conditioning didn’t work very well and the room was a bit too warm for a truly relaxing sleep.

Great walkable location near main attractions. Friendly staff. Clean rooms. A small hotel with breakfast included that suits a one- or two-night stay in Florence. Paid parking is just steps away.

Room was very well done. Very comfortable king bed. It was clean, quiet, and quaint. Walking distance from everything. All my wife and did was walk around and we enjoyed every moment. Staff and concierge were extremely helpful and accommodating - it was perhaps the best part of the hotel. They never said no. I will definitly come back here when I revisit.

I had to check in late on a sunday night, and I was a bit worried about how it would go, but the experience was fantastic from the moment I arrived. There was someone at the front desk ready to greet me, which was such a relief after a long day of travel. To top it off, they offered me complimentary champagne at check-in—a wonderful touch that made me feel welcome right away! The staff also arranged a late checkout for me, which was incredibly helpful and allowed me to enjoy my stay without feeling rushed. Overall, the service was outstanding, and the little extras really made a difference. I would highly recommend this hotel and will definitely be back! Location is perfect as well!

Wonderful experience! Very nice hotel, with great staff! Ovidio was just amazing, he welcomed us, showed us everything we needed to know about Florence on the map, got us reservations for a guided tour of the Acadamia, made dinner reservations, and was so very helpful. At breakfast, Yulia was so nice and friendly. All the staff were helpful, but these two were just exceptional!! The hotel is very nice, clean, comfortable, updated, walkable to most everything in Florence, and not on an overly crowded street. We would definatley recommend and hope to return.

Sanctuary in Busy Florence

We had a wonderful stay at Glimpse. The entire staff were so helpful and friendly including Alina, Yulia, Bernardo and Mario. I could not have asked for a better location. The hotel was just a few minutes from the Duomo and everything else was within walking distance. Also the free breakfast was amazing!
