The apartment is on the fourth level of the building, with 88 steps well worth the journey. Assistance is provided to help with luggage upon arrival.

Belvedere Duomo is located directly across from the side of the Duomo, the third largest Church in the world and Brunelleschi's masterpiece. Since 2009 traffic has been banned from the area around the Duomo, making this location peaceful and quiet. You are surrounded by some of the best shopping, sights, museums, cafes and restaurants in all of Italy.

Other Activities: The Duomo itself is a living museum, and the Church's major artworks and artifacts (including the original golden panels of the 'gates of paradise' from the Baptistery), are located within the Museo de Duomo - a few steps from your door. The Accademia Gallery, with the original David by Michelangelo is located 3 blocks away as well, and has just been fully restored for its 500th birthday.

Amazing view

To say this has a view of the Duomo is misleading as you can almost touch it! The apartment
is beautiful, well maintained and has everything one could need. The manager Lucca is delightful and was so friendly and helpful. The owner was very responsive as well. The location adjacent to the Duomo is perfect and surprisingly quiet. We will go back and stay there as this is a special place.

Taste of Home for Study Abroad Visit

5 of 5
Submitted: April 27, 2013 Stayed: April 2013
The apartment is even more beautiful than the pictures. If you are even considering this apartment, do not hesitate. We were visiting our daughter who is studying in Florence. She ended up staying with us all week because she loved the place so much. It was nice to be able to give her a taste of home in the middle of her study abroad experience. We even hosted a home cooked dinner for her and all her new friends one night which will be a great memory for her. The apartment is in a perfect location and has absolutely everything you might need or want. It felt like we were house sitting for a friend rather than a rental. The terrace was extraordinary, we sat out there as much as possible enjoying the views.
Owner's Response: Thanks for your kind words - it sounds like you have fallen in love with the terrace as much as I have!! Please visit again soon! Ron

Absolutely an experience of a lifetime

5 of 5
Submitted: November 9, 2012 Stayed: October 2012
This apartment is sensational. It really gives the lucky few who have opportunity to stay here an experience of a lifetime. The ambiance of having the Duomo within arms length is so unique. It becomes a part of you while you are in the apartment, and gives one's whole trip a specialness. The apartment is decorated and furnished in very high contemporary style, within the context of this incredibly old building of which so many unique features are still present. We really appreciated the lovely bathrooms, fully stocked kitchen with very fine cutlery, appliances , everything you need. The artwork is original, interesting, and adds to the uniqueness of the apartment. You genuinely feel a guest with the privilege of sharing someone's own home for a few days, which is so opposite so many apartment rentals where everything is stripped down for rental purposes. So if you are looking for a very special place- this is it.
Location is excellent. Instructions for using things as well as resources such as restaurants is so helpful. Luca, the manager is a real dear- very responsive, knows the city, and really explained everything to us upon our arrival, plus remained available by phone or email if we needed anything. One feels very safe in the building and apt. Steps are a hike, but well worth it to reach the apartment, and as one other reviewer commented - good exercise after our daily intake of of pasta, pizza, and gelato. What can I say? The food is so good that it takes away all the willpower.we have traveled a lot , stayed in a number of apartments and hotels --- this is the tops. Extra note: And if you are traveling with large family or multiple people, check out with owner, option to rent an adjoining 2 bedrm apartment. This would make a really fun place for gathering of family or good friends. We stayed in both and each apt has special features. Enjoy
