Paolo and Laura are two of the loveliest people we’ve had the pleasure to meet. They greeted us with great warmth and hospitality, and were kind enough to allow an early check-in so I could taxi straight from the airport without having to check my bags elsewhere.
I arrived alone and so appreciated the two of them meeting me and carrying my bags up the the steps to the apartment. Even though my husband joined me later, Paolo also insisted on carrying our bags downstairs when we checked out.
This brother and sister team have created a most beautiful oasis in the heart of San Niccolo. Their attention to detail, and the care and concern they showed for our comfort far surpassed any of our Air B&B experiences to date.
Not only did they provided every amenity we could possibly have needed, they also have thoughtfully appointed the rooms to a level that makes them highly inviting and comfortable via tasteful furnishings, linens, and hardware.
The San Niccolo Hidden Gem Suite is well deserving of its name: for all the reasons stated previously, but also because it provides the best of both worlds for exploring Florence. First of all it’s located in a vibrant Italian neighborhood, close to shops and restaurants, and only a short walk to beautiful outdoor spaces such as the rose garden, Piazzale Michelangelo, and San. Miniato al Monte. At the same time it’s only a 15 minute walk to the historic center.
We’re glad that we chose this apartment as our base for exploring Florence, and we hope to return to “Niccolo 1” in the future. We think you’d love it, too!
