Florence's most recognizable and photographed landmark is without a doubt the Santa Maria del Fiore (also known as the Duomo). If you're looking for a quieter approach to take in the magnificence of the Renaissance cupola while avoiding the throngs of snap-happy tourists, there's another option.

Imagine waking up to a view of the world's tallest masonry cupola after a comfortable night's sleep in a luxurious king-size bed octordle. Florence Cathedral may be seen from the Duomo Presidential Suite of the Hotel Savoy, a magnificent Rocco Forte building that stands above Piazza della Repubblica.

Moreover, it's not simply what's seen via the enormous windows that's relevant. 1,630 square feet, two-bedroom hideaway occupies a whole independent section of the house thanks to its size and stunning design—sophisticated but whimsical, with antique sculptures, sylvan wallpaper and joy-inducing fabrics incorporated into the mix. The style is new and contemporary, but respectful of Renaissance characteristics, in Florence.

There are luxurious couches, fascinating arm chairs, custom-made bookshelves, and Timorous Beasties-covered pillows in the light-filled sitting room. Ceccarelli Ceramics' elegant white sculptures and eye-catching paintings contribute to the gallery-like feel. There's a separate dining area with a large table, a crystal chandelier, and a bar filled with fine liquors to match the rest of the opulence. There is a jetted tub, a walk-in shower, and plant-powered Irene Forte Skincare amenities in the Carrara marble-clad bathroom.
