“Perfecto”

Reviewed May 18, 2013 NEW

Ciao Francesca, finally I am writing to share such a special and unique accommodation experience. We stayed here in early January 2013, had a fabulous apartment and our teenage son was impressed with the spatial surroundings and to enjoy the wonderful atmosphere of traditional Italian buildings. Truly fantastic location, across the lane to the Accademia and lovely walks to the... More

“A very good option for a family stay”

Reviewed March 15, 2013

Very good option for a family stay in Florence. Location is excellent, right in front of the Galleria where Michaelangelo's David is exhibited and very close to the Duomo (cathedral). It's also near San Marco square where buses for Fiesole depart. The apartment is comfortable, nicely decorated (paintings in the roof of the linig room!) and the kitchen very complete.... More

Thanks for taking the time to write. We shall make every effort to be clearer in our literature that the rooms are made-over only every three days, and how to dispose of the room trash. Thank you for pointing this out. We hope that one day you might come back. It was wonderful to meet with you. More

“Wonderful Wonderful stay..Again”

The apartments, location, Francesca and her family!! It is a beautiful and elegant residence in a... More

“Fantastic location and friendly Francesca”

Reviewed March 6, 2013

My mother, sister and I recently stayed at Palazzo Alfani and wanted to thank Francesca for her help and hospitality. The apartment was wonderfully decorated and spacious enough for three (twin beds and large sofa bed). The location is great, within walking distance to all the sights and bang opposite 'David' Accademia - you can literally look out your window... More

Thank you for finding the time to comment! We are so pleased that you enjoyed your stay. Yes - we do have stairs (rather beautiful ones - in original pietra siena and we have restored the original banister to its former glory), but for anyone not entirely fit, best to request a room on the first floor - you are...

“Wonderful space and location-not an exaggeration!”

Reviewed March 6, 2013 via mobile

When they say these residence apartments are close to the Galleria Accademia and the famous statue of David, they are not exaggerating. Literally we walked 10 steps to the front door and were gazing at David. Amazing. The small bookstore next door sold us our tickets to get right in and sold us our reserved Uffizi tickets for the next... More

Glad that you enjoyed it so much! Ristorante Accademia around the corner is a marvellous local eatery and you it's rather nice having Michelangelo's David as a neighbour! Perhaps one day you might come back and stay again! More

“Great place to stay in Florence”

We (2 adults and 2 kids) spent two nights in the Palazzo Alfani, and it was great, the owners are friendly and extremely helpful, the location is fantastic and within walking distance of most of the attractions in town, the Accademia is just a couple of feet away from the front door. Probably one of the best places we stayed... More

This is my belated and very much overdue review of the most excellent lodgings in Florence. My husband and myself stayed in an apartment here in July and we truly did not want to leave. Francesca was courteous, friendly, and most helpful - plus charming and witty as well! We truly felt at home here. The building is within walking... More

We stayed at palazzo Alfani in october 2012. Apart from it being in the right place it is a real treat to be in the inner city centre. Everything is at walking distance. Our host, Francesca, was always seeing to it that we felt at home. We drove by car to Florence, parking had been arranged by Palazzo Alfani and... More

“Magnificent and ideally located”

Reviewed November 28, 2012

I spent four days in Palazzo Alfani in October 2011 with my three teenage children. I had chosen this place after having read the reviews on Trip Advisor and found that it was even better that what we expected. The location is ideal, opposite the Accademia and 5 mn walk away from the Duomo. We had a two-bedroom apartment on... More
