New for 2017 – Palazzo San Niccolò
Enjoying the same artisanal atmosphere, Francesca has extended her hospitality experience to the newly opened and uber refined Palazzo San Niccolò suites, in the eponymous sought-after neighbourhood south of the river. With
its narrow streets, charismatic eateries and classy bars, San Niccolò retains its cobblestone charm more than most in bustling Florence.
Artisan workshops, specialty stores and boutiques are on your doorstep.
The apartments have been furnished with a designer’s eye for detail, in a blend of luxury vintage and modern décor, emphasizing the medieval palazzo’s centuries-old specifics with soothing stone-wash walls, velvet sofas and state-of-the-art d’autore lighting, as well as retro tiled flooring, wood-beam ceilings and Florentine casement windows.
Every suite boasts a cleverly appointed kitchen space equipped with everything you need for your stay, a sleek private bathroom, plus the requisite air conditioning for those sultry summer days.
An uplifting atmosphere capable of inspiring that novel you have always wished to write or paint that oil masterpiece a la Da Vinci: Palazzo San Niccolò wins over heart and mind alike. Not that you have to remain in your apartment: thanks to the laidback private garden, laze in the immaculately curated slice of the Tuscan countryside in the city centre.
