Historic Florentine Setting

Hotel Nizza is set in a 14th-century building on one of Florence's central streets, 200 meters from the Medici Chapels and Mercato di San Lorenzo. The property, owned by the Lassi and Gurrieri families, has been a hospitality site for nearly 700 years. A marble stone found during restoration confirms its historical ties to the Santa Maria Novella church.

Rooms with Local Charm

The 18 rooms feature Tuscan-Florentine style furnishings, private bathrooms with showers and bidets, air conditioning, satellite LED TVs, and free WiFi. Options include single-use doubles, double/double rooms, triples, and quadruples. Each room has a safe, hair dryer, and electric kettle. Some rooms are soundproofed.

Breakfast and Services

Guests can start the day with a continental breakfast including fresh bread, pastries, local ham, cheese, yogurt, and fruit juices. The hotel offers a 24-hour front desk, concierge service, and tour assistance. Safety features include fire extinguishers, smoke detectors, and a first aid kit.

Explore Florence on Foot

The hotel is 300 meters from the Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore and 500 meters from Florence Santa Maria Novella train station. Nearby landmarks include the National Alinari Museum of Photography (0.3 mi), Palazzo Antinori, and Torrigiani Garden. Via de' Tornabuoni and Central Market are within walking distance for shopping.

Family-Run Hospitality

As one of Florence's few remaining family-run hotels, Hotel Nizza emphasizes friendly service and cleanliness rooted in Tuscan traditions. Check-in requires government-issued photo ID for all guests. The property is 10 km from Peretola Airport.
