Palazzo Niccolini al Duomo
I stayed at two properties in Florence, each on opposite sides of the Arno River. The 16th century Palazzo Niccolini al Duomo is mere steps away from the Duomo but despite the constant crowds of tourists visiting and viewing the famous landmark the hotel remains a peaceful retreat in the heart of historic Florence.

Owner Marchesa Ginerva Niccolini d Camugiliano turned her husband’s palazzo into an oppulently decorated 10 room hotel.
I stayed in one of the smaller rooms when I first arrived but my quarters still appeared quite spacious due to the incredibly high ceilings.

I returned for one night before departing Italy and was upgraded to a huge room with large original allegorical frescoes, damask drapes, a huge canopy bed and marble floored bathrooms. I loved this room and wish I could have stayed for a week!
