Palazzo San Niccolo
A hidden gem.
Situated in the homonym neighborhood, Palazzo San Niccolò is the perfect place to enjoy Florence. The ‘50s design of the interiors, the quiet and delightful private garden and the bright and wide lounge will make you forget that you are just in the heart of the Oltrarno neighborhood.
In the same street you can admire artisans working in their shops, or you can have the famous Italian aperitivo in one of the several food and wine bars close by. You can also enjoy a beautiful walk to Forte Belvedere, Piazzale Michelangelo or to the new restored Poggi fountain.
What Makes it Special
Palazzo San Niccolo
Palazzo San Niccolò is located a few steps from the Porta di San Miniato and the medieval city walls, on the road towards Piazzale Michelangelo. The entrance to the garden and part of the courtyard reveal an original medieval street which suggests that the structure was originally a small village.
The beautiful private garden is located inside the building and it borders the city walls. In the gardens have been found original plants with banana trees and a dance floor, which date back to the early 1900s as part of a recreational club.
The property is divided into different housing units located in 3 different environments. In the oldest area it is still possible to admire three arches which belong to the cloister of the13th century monastery. Some apartments and rooms, all with very high ceilings and windows, are very large and bright, typical of the Florentine stately building from the 15th century. The current decorations are the result of recovery and restoration of pre-existent works.
