San Niccolo is a lovely neighbourhood across the Arno from the bustling centre of Florence. Known for its contemporary art galleries, it also boasts a range of independent boutiques championing local brands, a great foodie scene and a hipster vibe. Accommodation options here tend to be more self catering, and we've uncovered a lovely palazzo conversion which offers a range of apartments, rooms and studios with the added bonus of a private garden for all to enjoy. For a wider selection, check out all our recommendations in Oltrarno.
