About San Niccolò

Wedged between the Arno and the cypress-clad hill of San Miniato, San Niccolò is one of Florence's best-kept secrets: a tiny grid of medieval streets, beloved enoteche, and a gateway to the Rose Garden and the panoramic Piazzale Michelangelo, with the Romanesque San Miniato al Monte crowning the skyline above. It offers the rare combination of being a five-minute walk from the centre yet feeling like a hillside village. Stock is limited and tightly held, attracting lifestyle buyers and view-seekers willing to pay a scarcity premium for calm and panorama.
