Karen's Review Of This Property:
Palazzo Niccolini is one of the few hotels in Florence within a new category called Historic Residences. Dating from the 16th century, this fascinating palazzo has a prime location directly facing the Duomo Cathedral. The Niccolini family, descendants of the original owners, reside in part of the palazzo and have very meticulously restored the building, offering ten elegant, spacious bedrooms and suites for guests. Entered from the street level, the reception area is up one flight of stairs (or elevator) near the grand living room with period paintings, antiques, grand chandeliers. Breakfast is served in the elegant living room, making one feel like a private house guest. Each bedroom is elegantly decorated with antiques and all have sparkling, marble bathrooms; some with frescoed walls or ceilings. However, the “pieće de resistance” is the priceless suite upstairs that will leave guests in awe. Open the door, climb up ten steps into the glassed-in living room, and gaze right into the side of Brunelleschi’s Cupola. You will never get a better view of the detailed, marble façade and roof tiles. In addition, behind the white sofa (which is located directly in front of the enormous windows) is a two-person hydro jet tub hidden among the plants. The bedroom and bathroom are accessed off to the side.
