I had chosen this hotel for its location just beyond Ponte Vecchio and its prime ranking. It is ideal for doing the museums and religious buildings nearby. However I finally decided after contacting Andrea that for a stay of 13 days we would feel rather congested among the tourist throngs in those gloomy narrow streets. So we made another selection...

I LOVED this hotel and the staff is, as everyone says, the main reason why. Everyone was helpful. I arrived VERY early in the morning and was greeted warmly by Monti who let me check in, told me I was welcome to a nap, shower, have coffee and eat breakfast. I was meeting my daughter for a few days in... More

First off, the innkeepers at this hotel are simply the loveliest people and this reflects the level of service that you will receive if you stay here. Case in point: our flight was delayed, resulting in the potential loss of one night's fees at the hotel. The innkeeper (Andrea) allowed us to stay an extra night to make up for... More

We came a year ago and again, I had no hesitation booking in with Andrea at the Alessandra. Central location just off the Ponte Vecchio. Free Wi-Fi...... great breakfasts and nothing is too much trouble. Stayed with my 12 year old daughter in a bigger room at the rear facing the River Arno this time. Great value. The rooms are...

Wonderful hotel! Location is perfect...walking distance from all the main attractions. The best part of the hotel is the staff...they are friendly, helpful, accommodating, and all around great. I would stay there again just for the service the staff provided. It's not the fanciest or newest hotel, but it's clean and the room was a good size; for the price,... More

We loved this hotel- the room was very spacious and we had a view of the River Arno, The location was fantastic- right in the middle of the downtown area and within walking distance of everything - we were able to walk to Accademia, Uffizi, the Duomo, the river, and all the shopping districts. The hotel staff was very helpful... More

The Alessandra is ideally located for visiting Florence. The breakfast is excellent. The hosts are very accommodating. I highly recommend it. More

Andrea and his mom were great and very hospitable. My girlfriend and I joked that we felt like we were visiting Italian relatives in their home rather than a hotel. They were open and engaging and bent over backwards to help you find places to go. We squeezed in La Accademia only because Andrea stayed on the phone for ten... More

Perfectly situated in the heart of the city center and an easy walk to everything you want to see: Steps to Ponte Vecchio; 5 minutes to Dome, 10 minutes to David, 10 minutes to Uffizi. Close enough to everything so you can drop in for a pit stop or to change clothes etc. if conditions change during hte day. We... More
