Palazzo Niccolini Florence, Frescoed Suite

            Photos courtesy of the Palazzo Niccolini (because theirs are much better than ours were).

We were in Room # 2, a junior suite with frescoes covering all the walls.  In the photos, I thought these were tapestries but they are frescos that have adorned this room since the 1700s.  Quite a grand room, we were very comfortable here.  

Palazzo Niccolini al Duomo was built by the Naldini, a rich Florentine family of merchants and bankers, in the area where was the workshop of the great sculptor Donatello. In 1532 Giovanni Naldini started the acquisition of the houses in the area to connect them in one single complex; between 1725 and 1732 Ottaviano Naldini entrusted architect Pier Paolo Giovannozzi with the task of giving the building its current appearance. After the wedding of Cristina Naldini and the Marquis Eugenio Niccolini di Camugliano, in 1879, the property of the palace passed to the family Niccolini, who has been residing here for four generations.

This is a lovely small hotel (15 rooms plus parlor/breakfast room) and the location is superb, just at the corner onto the Piazza al Duomo and directly across from the Duomo itself.
