DUOMO LUXURY APARTMENT “Palazzo del Re” Overview

First Impressions

Walking up to DUOMO LUXURY APARTMENT “Palazzo del Re” on via dei Vecchietti, you immediately sense you’ve found something special. This four-star property sits right in the thick of Florence‘s historic center — I mean, you’re literally steps from the Duomo, which is pretty incredible when you think about it. The building itself has that classic Florentine charm, and honestly, the location alone makes this place worth considering.

The Heart of Renaissance Florence

What really struck me about this spot is how perfectly positioned it is for exploring. You’re in the Santa Maria Novella district, which puts you within walking distance of basically everything that matters in Florence. The Ponte Vecchio is just a few minutes away, and you can actually reach the Uffizi without breaking a sweat. I’ve stayed in other parts of the city, and trust me — being this central makes such a difference. You know what’s great? Couples absolutely love it here, rating the location 9.9 out of 10, and after spending time in the area, I totally get why.

The Apartment Experience

The apartment itself feels like stepping into a beautifully restored Florentine palazzo — which, well, it basically is. The space has character without feeling stuffy, and there’s something really satisfying about having your own place in such a historic building. The room layout works well, giving you space to spread out after long days of sightseeing. What I appreciated most was how they’ve managed to blend modern comfort with the building’s original architectural details.

Neighborhood Life

Being on via dei Vecchietti puts you right in the mix of daily Florentine life. There’s a great little restaurant scene within a block or two — nothing touristy, just solid local spots where you’ll hear more Italian than English. The street itself is quiet enough that you’re not dealing with constant noise, but active enough that you feel connected to the city’s rhythm. I found myself grabbing morning coffee at the same café down the street every day, which felt pretty authentic.

Why Guests Love It

With a 9.5 rating, this place clearly hits the mark for most visitors, and honestly, it’s not hard to see why. The combination of that unbeatable location — seriously, a 9.9 location score doesn’t happen by accident — and the authentic apartment-style accommodation creates something pretty special. You’re not just staying near Florence’s highlights; you’re living among them. For couples especially, there’s something romantic about having your own space in such a storied part of the city, where you can walk hand-in-hand to world-famous sites or just enjoy a quiet evening looking out over these ancient streets.
