About this property

Luxury Apartment at 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 2 is Florence's most beautiful location for your Italian holiday. Rentals began In September 2011. The entrance to this two level apartment is located literally on the side of Brunelleschi's Duomo (only 27 meters or 80 feet away), 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 2 elegant all tile baths.

The apartment is on the fourth level of the building, with 88 steps well worth the journey. Assistance is available for an additional fee to help with luggage upon arrival (needs to be arranged in advance).

Spend a once in a lifetime vacation at one of the most historic sites in all of Italy. Belvedere Duomo 2 comfortably sleeps 6 in comfortable beds with ample storage and unique original artwork and sculptures throughout the apartment.

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

Location is fantastic
Beautiful historic building right in the center of Florence. Location is fantastic! As the listing says there is no elevator, but the steps definitely helped burn off all the delicious food we ate. AC units work great. Definitely need to be mindful of when you shower and not run water in other rooms or the shower will run to a small trickle. We were a family of 5 and had plenty of space. Ron was great to communicate with and responded to questions quickly. My husband loves art history and this was his favorite place we stayed while we were in Italy.

The property was beautiful and the location was incredible. However make sure you are in good health
The property was very nice, however you need to be in good health to navigate the 88 stairs to reach the apartment. If you have multiple bags of luggage it is very difficult. Although the apartment is located directly across from Duomo, you have no views of it from the apartment.

Great location
This is my second stay at the apartments and loved it as much as the first. We rented both units to have enough bedrooms and baths for everyone. Both units are spacious and well equipped. Looking forward to our next stay!

Best location, A/C, and so quiet inside
Being new to VRBO, we couldn't have been happier with Belvedere Duomo 2. The apartment is immaculate in the best location in Florence. We were literally steps away from the entrance to climb the Duomo. Even though we were in the busy Piazza, it was extremely quiet inside the apartment. 5 air conditioning units work so incredibly well even during the crazy heat wave. Access to Netflix and other streaming services was an unexpected treat. We were totally fine climbing the 88 steps after all our big meals, but it would be tough for older or less mobile folks. Owner and manager were both very responsive over email/phone. We absolutely loved the apartment. Thank you for a wonderful stay!

About the host

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 2' - 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 purchasing my original apartment, 'Belvedere Duomo - vrbo listing 267152, this adjacent apartemnt became available. a completely renovated 15th century apartment next to one of the greatest monuments in all of Italy - Brunelleschi's Cathedral, or the Duomo. The powerful presence of the Duomo is breathtaking and hard to put into words. The Duomo becomes 'part' of your Florence experience, as you enter and leave the apartment in Piazza Duomo

What makes this property unique

Located literally next to the Duomo, Belvedere Duomo 2 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.
