About this property

Spectacular Terrace Overlooking the Duomo

2024 Note to Guests:
Façade and Roof Restoration: Currently there is restoration work underway at the building and scaffolding covers the exterior. The work is supposed to be completed in mid-2024. At this time, it is not significantly impacting the apartment.

Belvedere Duomo is Florence's most beautiful location for your Italian holiday. Located literally on the side of Brunelleschi's Duomo (only 27 meters or 80 feet away), the two level apartment has a large terrace for dining (for 8) and relaxing in the shadow of this great dome, the third largest Church in the world. After an extensive two year renovation, this property is 'new' in the shell of a 12th century structure. The amenities of the apartment are as you would find in a luxury hotel suite, with a gourmand's kitchen, computer hookups and wi-fi, washer/dryer, and an elegant all travertine bath.

The apartment is on the fourth level of the building, with 88 steps well worth the journey. Assistance is available for an additional charge to help with luggage upon arrival (please arrange before arrival).

Spend a once in a lifetime vacation at one of the most historic sites in all of Italy. Belvedere Duomo comfortably sleeps 4 in 2 comfortable beds, a queen bed in the bedroom and a queen sofabed in the living room, with ample storage and unique original artwork and sculptures throughout the apartment.

One step onto the terrace of this magnificent unit, and you will understand the historic importance and splendor of Florence.

Supercute and BEST LOCATION!!
Photos do not SHOW HOW AMAZING this Unit is...we LOVED IT...yes there are 5 flights of stairs and then stairs within the unit to the MAIN LIVING space...im a realtor in Atlantic Beach, FL USA and I thought this was my Favorite VRBO of ALL!! Nicely updated unit - Nice views from all windows....ESPECIALLY the Duomo Porch View...you can literally touch the DUOMO....Its so amazing. Walk downstairs to Everything - shops, restaurants, and lots of Live music at night - but its very quiet in the unit. the extra half bathroom and the laundry room are the perfect extras in Florence....If you can do stairs you WILL LOVE this one....We will be back!!

Beautiful location
This property is really unique. The location on the Duomo Piazza and right accross from the Duomo is terrific! The crowds die down around 5 pm and it's very quiet and relaxing after that. Easy walk to everything from here. There are a lot of stairs to the apartment as Ron notes in his listing and if you have a car the garage is a bit of a walk, so next time I will make arrangements for a porter to take the luggage to the room from the garage.

About the host

Hosted by Ron Blitch

Host profile image
I am an architect in New Orleans Louisiana USA - educated in Rome and Florence, and have always dreamed of the perfect getaway in Italy. 'Belvedere Duomo' - meaning 'beautiful view of the Duomo' is just that place, with a very convenient, luxurious and quiet apartment with the appointments of Florence's finest hotels.

Why they chose this property

After searching for an apartment for over a year, I saw this completely renovated 12th century apartment with one of the greatest views in all of Italy - Brunelleschi's Cathedral, or the Duomo. The powerful presence of the Duomo from the upper living room and kitchen (unique around the entire Duomo) is breathtaking and hard to put into words. The Duomo becomes 'part' of your Florence experience, from a vantage point that only you can enjoy.

What makes this property unique

Located literally next to the Duomo, Belvedere Duomo is only a few minutes from the Uffizi, the Train Station, the Central Market and San Lorenzo (Medici Chapel), and the Galleria Accademia (David). The apartment is a 'new' property, completed restored and rebuilt after 2 years of intensive work, including wonderful appointments and conveniences only found in a luxury suite in a fine hotel.
