A grand, ancient house with the uniqueness of a private aristocratic
residence, is offering hospitality in few, comfortable and beautifully
decorated rooms. Palazzo Niccolini al Duomo is located in the heart of
historical Firenze, 30 meters away from the cathedral, in the centre of
the shopping area and at walking distance from the main monuments and
museums. Its origins date back to the 14th century. The great sculptor
Donatello (1386-1466) had his workshop here. This small jewel has been
created for those who still nowadays wish to experience the style and
prestige of an ancient and historical aristocratic palace, only a few
meters away from Brunelleschi’s Dome, and to enjoy maximum comfort in an
exclusive environment, evoking the atmosphere of a private residence.
Recently, the residence was completely renovated without altering its
antique features and maintaining the fascination of its past history.
Rooms are large, have high painted ceilings, frescoed walls and are
elegantly decorated. All rooms have “en suite” bathrooms, fitted in
marble. The whole residence is air-conditioned. The Palazzo was
originally built by the Naldinis, an important family of Florentine
merchants and bankers. It remained in the Naldini family until 1891,
when the last descendant, Cristina, married Marchese Eugenio Niccolini
di Camugliano and brought into this family as part of her dowry. The
present owners, Filippo and Ginevra Niccolini di Camugliano, personally
supervised the renovation works and oversee the residence in all
details, in order to ensure that guests be offered a top quality
treatment, comparable to that of a luxury hotel.
Being in the heart of the city center, Palazzo Niccolini is located just
a few steps away from the famous Duomo cathedral and 10 minute walking
distance from all the major museums and sights. To the train station
there is only a 5 minute taxi ride and a 10 minute ride to the airport.
