Niccolo 99' is steeped in history and old world charm. The apartment is located within a historical palazzo and is accessed through an internal courtyard and elevator or stairs. It is quiet, spacious, inviting, light and airy, fresh and immaculately clean. Most of Florence's iconic sites are an easy walk from the apartment.
Antonio and Cristina have catered for every possible need and during our three week stay in their beautiful apartment there was absolutely nothing extra that we needed - they generously organised extra cleaning during our three week stay. It truly was our home away from home.
The bedrooms all have air-conditioning and are spacious with comfortable beds and ample hanging and storage space. The air conditioned lounge opens onto the large terrace where we had breakfast every morning overlooking the parkland listening to birdsong and viewing the occasional pheasant. The bathrooms were immaculately clean with ample towels and the dining /lounge areas were very accommodating and comfortable. The kitchen was well equipped and functional. Florence water is one of the best waters around! It is colourless, odourless and very safe to drink. We didn't buy any bottled water while we were there.
The nearby Conad supermarket has a great selection of fresh fruit and vegetables, fresh pasta, cheeses, meats, dairy, bread and a great deli selection along with the usual supermarket goods.
Antonio and Cristina are wonderful hosts with a wealth of local knowledge who go the extra mile for their guests. Thanks to Cristina we had a fun morning with Erika and learnt how to make a traditional Italian meal right in the apartment! - Erika is a fabulous cook and we highly recommend her. Cristina also recommended Il Papiro where we learnt to marbleize paper and make a book using our own paper - another amazing morning thanks to Cristina.
We highly recommend Niccolo 99' for a short or long stay in Florence - we have made beautiful life long memories that would not have been possible without our fabulous hosts Antonio and Cristina or their superb apartment.
