“Ten-room gem with a Duomo view”
Glimpse Hotel is a 2024 ten-room boutique steps from Florence's icons — the Duomo visible from the door at three hundred metres, the Accademia nearby, a grand square a hundred metres off, and paid parking fifty metres away. Rooms are clean, renovated and exactly as photographed, with a Florentine sheet-layered bedding style; staff are amazing — gifting local snacks to a Chinese guest, listening patiently to half-fluent Italian, arranging taxis. Breakfast is à-la-carte and refined, with smoked salmon; in-room delivery costs extra. One guest found an unbudgeable fly.
