About

Relais Del Duomo

Relais Del Duomo is a 4-star bed and breakfast set in a historic building on Piazza Dell'Olio, in the heart of Florence. Its position earns high marks from guests, who rate the location 9 out of 10, with the Battistero di San Giovanni just a 10-minute walk away and many of the city's main sights within easy reach.

The property keeps things simple and personal: a handful of rooms, each with air conditioning, heating, and a private shower. Breakfast is served as a tray delivered to your room each morning, and the staff are known for their helpful local tips. Expect a quiet, old-world atmosphere rather than a big hotel experience.

Worth weighing

3 to weigh
  • Rooms and cleanliness rated lower — The 'Rooms and cleanliness' category scores just 6 out of 10, suggesting some guests find the rooms dated or maintenance inconsistent.
  • No pets allowed — The property has a strict no-pets policy, so you'll need to make other arrangements for your animal companions.
  • Limited on-site facilities — There is no on-site restaurant or bar — just a leisure/TV room — and public parking is nearby but not guaranteed. You'll rely on the city's dining options.

“The location was superb, right in the middle of the city and a short stroll from a Renaissance palace.”

8.8Verified guest

“It was wonderfully peaceful all around. The location is fantastic, right next to the main square and also close to the train station, with an open-air market just 10 minutes away. My recently refurbished economy double room had a very comfortable king-size bed. Breakfast was lovely and varied, with good coffee, fresh pastries, and the usual continental options.”

“The location is ideal, an easy walk to all the major sights. I especially loved the breakfast arrangement — getting that tray each morning felt like a treat. The hosts were friendly and made sure we had everything we needed. They were really accommodating when I asked for an early breakfast. As a solo traveller, I valued the peaceful atmosphere, which gave me time to relax.”
