Arch Apartment Duomo – Florence Overview
First Impressions
Walking up to Arch Apartment Duomo – Florence on Via dell’Oriuolo, you immediately understand why this place has such stellar ratings. I mean, you’re literally steps away from the Duomo — and I’m not exaggerating when I say steps. This four-star property sits right in the thick of everything that makes Florence magical, tucked into one of those narrow medieval streets that somehow manages to feel both bustling and intimate at the same time.
Location That Actually Matters
Here’s what I love about the location — you can stumble out the front door and be at the cathedral in about two minutes, but you’re also perfectly positioned to explore the Uffizi without dealing with the chaos of staying directly on a main tourist drag. The couples who rate this place 9.9 for location aren’t wrong; there’s something romantic about being able to wander back to your place after an evening stroll along the Arno without having to navigate crowds or hunt for your street. You know what’s really nice? You can actually hear the cathedral bells from here, which sounds touristy but honestly adds this lovely rhythm to your mornings.
The Space Itself
The apartment setup works brilliantly if you want something more than just a standard hotel room. You get that sense of living in Florence rather than just visiting — there’s a proper kitchen where you can make coffee the way you like it, and honestly, after a few days of Italian breakfast pastries (delicious but rich), having the option to grab some fruit from the Sant’Ambrogio market and eat it at your own table feels pretty perfect. The space feels authentically Florentine without being overly themed, if that makes sense.
What Makes It Work
The 9.3 rating reflects something you notice pretty quickly — everything just functions well. The Wi-Fi actually works when you need to look up restaurant recommendations, the shower has proper pressure, and the beds are comfortable enough that you don’t wake up feeling like you’ve been wrestling with Italian linens all night. It’s those practical details that matter when you’re trying to balance sightseeing with actually resting. Plus, having your own space means you can spread out your purchases from the leather markets without feeling like you’re living out of a suitcase.
Why Guests Love It
What really sets this place apart is how it manages to put you right in the center of Renaissance Florence without making you feel like you’re staying in a museum. You’re close enough to everything important that you can pop back during the day if your feet are killing you, but the street itself has enough local life that you get a sense of how people actually live here. The combination of that prime location with the independence of an apartment setup — well, it explains why people keep coming back and why the location scores are so consistently high.
Hotel in Tuscany reservations surge before white truffle fairs when hilltown piazzas brim with foodies.

Fabio is a very nice and responsible owner who responds promptly to my enquiries. The arpartment is about 8 minutes walk from the Duomo and around 15 minutes walk from the train station. The apartment is spacious and clean, very comfortable. The instructions about the equipment are clear. We had a wonderful stay here!

It was so comfortable and had everything we needed. The AC was great I finally slept without sweating half the night. You can’t get a more perfect location and the garage was great. Make sure to pay attention to the videos before arriving, the keypad and key lock needed attention to get right.
Kathy from New Zealand (10/10)
Wonderful location, spacious well-equipped property, easy communication with the owner. We absolutely would recommend this apartment, a short walk to the Duomo.
Shireen from Australia (10/10)
Our host was a wonderful help and everything went very smoothly. We only had an overnight stay in Florence and the location of this property was excellent, being right in the middle of the beautiful history of Florence and close to great shopping. It was also secure and safe and clean.
