PALAZZO NICCOLINI AL DUOMO

 A grand, ancient house with the uniqueness of a private aristocratic residence, with few comfortable and beautifully decorated rooms. Palazzo Niccolini al Duomo is located in the heart of historical Florence, 30 mt. away from the Cathedral, in the centre of the shopping area and at comfortable walking distance from the main monuments, sites and museums. It’s origins date back to the 14th century. The great sculptor Donatello (1386-1466) had his workshop here. Recently, the residence was completely renovated without altering its 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. 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 metres away from Brunelleschi’s Dome, and to enjoy maximum comfort in an exclusive environment, evoking the atmosphere of a private residence.
