In brief
What works, what to weigh
+
Strengths
3 reasons to book- Unbeatable Duomo location — The apartments sit directly across the piazza from Florence's cathedral, with many rooms offering views of the dome. Guests consistently mention the convenience for exploring the city.
- Spacious, apartment-style rooms — Rooms are large and self-contained, with separate living areas, kitchens or kitchenettes, and multiple bedrooms. This makes them well suited to families and groups.
- Helpful, memorable staff — Several reviews single out staff members by name for going beyond the expected—helping with local tips, booking services, and ensuring smooth check-ins.

Worth weighing
3 to weigh- Street noise in the heart of the city — Being central means you'll hear the sounds of Florence, including street performers and crowds. Even upper floors don't guarantee complete quiet.
- Dining options limited — There's no on-site restaurant, so guests rely on the kitchen facilities or nearby eateries for meals. The property's dining rating is the lowest of all categories.
- No laundry facilities in-room — Apartments lack a washing machine, so longer stays or families may need to visit a nearby laundromat.

9.2Verified guest“The fresh orange juice at the local cafes was a game changer! The Duomo view from the apartment was amazing, and we loved the spaciousness of our two-bedroom layout. Enjoying beautiful music from street performers while sipping wine on the balcony was pure bliss.”
9.2Verified guest“Palazzo Gamba was fantastic! The location was incredible, just steps from the Duomo. Our two-bedroom apartment had windows where you could practically touch the Duomo. All the amenities we could have wanted—nice elevator, spacious rooms, security, Wi-Fi, and wonderful staff. Would definitely stay again!”
9.2Verified guest“The hotel could not be in a better location—directly across the piazza from the Duomo with picture-perfect views of the dome. Amazing. Comfortable, quiet, clean, and spacious. Plenty of room for us and our two young children. The elevator made it simple to stay on an upper floor. The mini kitchen was perfect for breakfast and dinner since the kids were too tired to brave a restaurant at night. Large windows allowed us to view the piazza at night before going to bed. Wonderful staff, especially Marco! He helped us find a store to purchase a car seat for our travels around the country. Wonderful place and would recommend to everyone.”
9.2Verified guest“Fine view of the Duomo that really makes the place feel special. The spacious layout is ideal for families.”
9.2Verified guest“Spacious comfortable apartment in an ideal location in the centre of Florence next to the dome. But if you are looking for a real quiet night, you better not choose a room in the centre of Florence, even on the 6th floor.”
9.2Verified guest“Palazzo Gamba is centrally located 'next door' to the main Basilica and is in a great location for anything you want to do in Florence. The apartment itself is very clean and comfortable with all the fittings you require, except for clothes washing. However, a laundromat is a short walk away. Two bathrooms in the apartment we had was good as we shared with friends (four of us in all). The staff, Nora, was very helpful in providing information and tips to make our visit more enjoyable. I would have no hesitation in recommending Palazzo Gamba.”
